Worked model: Audit One Upcoming Task
- 1At department planning, highlight what learners must read, say and write to complete one upcoming subject task
- 2Identify the language needed to demonstrate it
- 3Allocate complementary teaching roles and choose one precise support
- 4Review individual responses and agree what to adjust next time
For a science conclusion, the subject teacher checks the mechanism while the EAL specialist plans language linking result, evidence and explanation. Both inspect whether learners use the link independently.

Teacher language
Adapt these prompts to the task and your learners.
Our purpose is: At department planning, highlight what learners must read, say and write to complete one upcoming subject task.
Who will do what in this task, and what learner evidence will we review?
Try the new case on your own. Show the detail or reasoning that supports your answer.
Which support do you still need, and which part can you now do independently?
Apply in your setting
Maths: plan justification language. Humanities: plan source qualification. Agree roles around one shared task rather than separate parallel work.
Adjust language support
Use a small word bank, visuals and partner rehearsal when needed. Extend with precise explanations and qualifications. Judge the support from the response to this task.
