The decision they practise
In “Handing over to Ikram”, a face-to-face conversation, learners practise what to say and do when the other person pushes back. The wrong options are things a well-meaning person might genuinely say, and the feedback explains why each one is tempting. Short animations show “Naomi’s six months” and “Two months for Naomi and Ikram”.
