  1. The food words in spoken orders need practice. · Repeated feedback points to food words in spoken orders. It does not establish Sam's level in every skill.
  2. Listening, speaking, reading and writing · The lesson checks listening, speaking, reading and writing through suitable tasks.
  3. False · Interests can help choose material. Attempts and feedback identify needs that enjoyment alone cannot establish.
  4. Writing needs a suitable check before comparison. · No writing attempt is recorded. That is missing evidence, not a result showing stronger or weaker writing.
  5. Give short directions and ask what was understood. · Giving directions and checking what the listener understood gives evidence about that task. Nervousness or enjoyment alone does not.
  6. True · An accurate record can name what happened without blame. You can also ask for help.
  7. Try suitable short speech without written help. · The script provides written support. A suitable listening task without it better matches the stated condition.
  8. Practise hearing times, then check a new recording. · Hearing times matches the listening need. A fresh checked recording gives evidence after practice.
