A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Use pages 1–2 and keep the teacher key on page 3 for feedback. Introduce inconclusive and incompatible, checking meaning and pronunciation before the gap fill.

  1. Distinguish inconclusive results from incomprehensible language; treat inadmissible as vocabulary in the fictional legal example, not legal advice.
  2. Complete the eight sentences using each vocabulary word once. Compare choices with a partner and explain the context clues before checking the key.
  3. Discuss unclear research results, inauthentic items and inessential details. Use the five printed questions for pair discussion and short notes; responses are individual, not fixed-key answers.

Support and extension

Support with result / access / authenticity categories; extend by explaining how a report could be clearer without claiming its findings are conclusive.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
