Ready to teach

45-minute plan for asking and answering follow-up questions

Keep the language frame visible, then remove one support when the learner is ready. Offer one supported attempt, then repeat the task with less prompting.

  1. 6min

    01

    Notice & retrieve

    Give one quick prompt about asking and answering follow-up questions. Ask for an unprepared response; do not correct yet.

    Why: Find the learner's starting point before teaching anything new.

    Look for: Teacher records one exact response and one point of hesitation.

  2. 6min

    02

    See a useful model

    Show or say a short everyday conversation example using asking and answering follow-up questions. Ask the learner to notice two useful choices.

    Why: Make the target clear in a realistic context.

    Look for: Learner identifies two features that make the model effective.

  3. 11min

    03

    Practise with support

    Rebuild the example together, then complete three short variations with a visible support frame.

    Why: Build accuracy while help is still available.

    Look for: Learner completes at least two variations with fewer prompts each time.

  4. 13min

    04

    Use it independently

    Set a fresh everyday conversation scenario. The learner completes it without the original model or script.

    Why: Check whether the learner can transfer the language without a script.

    Look for: Learner uses asking and answering follow-up questions in a new situation without copying the model.

  5. 5min

    05

    Respond & refine

    Name one thing that worked and one high-impact change. Let the learner repeat the hardest part once.

    Why: Turn one observed pattern into a precise improvement.

    Look for: The repeated response shows whether the selected change helped.

  6. 4min

    06

    Capture the next step

    Ask the learner to summarize the useful pattern and choose one small practice action before the next lesson.

    Why: Leave both teacher and learner clear on what comes next.

    Look for: Student can state the next practice action in their own words.

Close the loop. Next session: begin by repeating the independent task and compare it with today's recorded response.
