Guide an extended discussion collaboratively
Help a longer conversation develop, change direction, and reach a useful close without dominating the other speaker.
Apply every step in your target language. Choose words and expressions you have already learned or confirm them with a trusted source or language partner.
GUIDED PRACTICE
Understand, learn, and make it yours
Work from a natural example to useful language, one small pattern, a spoken attempt, and a response that is relevant to your life.
- 1
Understand and learn
4 minChoose a broad topic and map four moves: open with a focused question, deepen one point, connect two ideas, and close by summarising what changed or remains open.
- 2
Notice, try, and speak
8 minSpeak for two minutes, then stop and formulate a question that hands the conversation back. Practise summarising an imagined response before introducing a related direction.
- 3
Make it yours
5 minHave a ten-minute discussion. Monitor whose voice is taking space, name a useful connection between ideas, and invite the other person to choose whether to deepen or change the topic.
- 4
Prepare to use it
3 minNote where the discussion gained energy and where it lost focus. Choose one facilitation move—summarising, redirecting, or inviting—that you want to use more deliberately next time.
You're ready to use this.
Take today's skill into a real conversation mission, then return to review what happened.
