CURRICULUM PILOTS · TEACHER REVIEW REQUIRED

Practical language.
Meaningful situations.

One reusable lesson structure, adapted to the depth of language each learner can use.

A1 · At the shop

Situation: You need bread and milk and want to ask the price. Goal: make a simple request and answer a predictable question.

Useful expressions: “Jeg vil gjerne ha …”, “Hvor mye koster det?”, “Kan jeg betale med kort?”

Prepare: choose three items and say the names aloud. Role-play: one person is the customer, another the shop assistant. Ask for two items and the price. Switch roles.

Discuss: Hva kjøper du ofte? Hva liker du? Follow-up: record a short imaginary purchase without personal information. Review: can you ask without reading? Note one correction from your teacher.

A2 · A responsible change of plan

Situation: Your bus is late and you cannot reach a meeting on time. Goal: explain a reason, apologise and suggest an alternative.

Useful expressions: “Jeg blir litt forsinket fordi …”, “Kan vi begynne klokka …?”, “Det passer bedre for meg …”

Prepare: choose a time and two alternatives. Role-play: call a colleague, explain the change and agree a new plan. The colleague asks one clarification question.

Discuss: Hvordan gir du beskjed når planen endrer seg? Follow-up: write the agreed plan, then explain it aloud in new words. Review: could the listener understand the reason and the next action?

B1 · Priorities at work

Situation: Two tasks compete for the same afternoon. Goal: explain priorities, support an opinion and respond to another view.

Useful expressions: “Jeg mener vi bør … fordi …”, “På den ene siden …”, “Hva om vi …?”, “Jeg forstår poenget ditt, men …”

Prepare: choose the two tasks and one reason for each. Role-play: negotiate a plan with a colleague who has a different priority. Discuss: Når er det riktig å si nei? Hvordan prioriterer du tid?

Follow-up: explain the decision in a short message, then give a one-minute spoken summary. Review: did you give reasons and answer the other person's point? Save the teacher's language feedback.

B2+ · Evidence and respectful disagreement

Situation: A local organisation must choose between restoring a building and replacing it. Goal: distinguish evidence from preference and present a nuanced view.

Useful expressions: “Slik jeg vurderer saken …”, “Det kommer an på …”, “Hvilket grunnlag har vi for …?”, “Jeg vil likevel innvende at …”

Prepare: identify two competing values and one unanswered factual question. Role-play: discuss the options and summarise the strongest argument against your own preference before responding.

Discuss: Hva gjør et sted verdifullt? Hvordan skiller vi fakta fra vurderinger? No belief or preferred answer is required. Follow-up: write a short recommendation with a qualification. Review: ask your teacher to evaluate precision, coherence and how you handled disagreement.
