The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Find the four problems”, learners spot the red flags in a realistic document and see the effect of each choice. In “I can’t hear you with them on”, 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 “The noise action values” and “Why people take protection off”.
How you know they finished
