Products
English Investigation Notebook with Monthly Speaking Recordings
Each student will maintain a research-style notebook that includes question refinement, listening notes, role-play logs, vocabulary collections, and monthly speaking samples. The notebook proves individual mastery of conversation strategies, listening analysis, and register awareness through documented evidence and reflection.
Conversation Cafe Investigation Report and Live Demonstration
Teams will synthesize their individual evidence into a formal investigation report and a live presentation with short role-plays, visualized speaking data, and conclusions about what helped them communicate more effectively. The team product must show how members’ different findings fit together, including challenges, contradictions, and limitations.
