The decision they practise
In “Talking to Edna”, 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 “Six principles”; and “Report now, or wait for proof?”.
