One frame per task type
Each task type comes with a fixed response frame to hold on to early on, dropped once students can build the answer themselves.

Leads TOEIC Speaking & Writing, focusing on the task types that model workplace situations: describing a picture, answering a call, and writing a reply to a request.
Introduction
About Vũ Hà My
Three years of teaching, leading the Speaking & Writing half of TOEIC. Unlike Listening & Reading, this half is marked against criteria rather than an answer key, and every prompt sits in a workplace setting — so the vocabulary practised here is office vocabulary, not academic vocabulary.
Sessions work through one task type at a time, each with a response frame students hold on to at first and drop as they get used to it. Having a frame is what makes it possible to give a complete answer inside the very short preparation time the speaking half allows.
In the classroom
How these lessons run
Workplace settings
Topics and vocabulary come from office situations — email, appointments, orders — exactly the range the paper is limited to.
Timed from the first session
The speaking half allows very little preparation time, so practice runs to that limit rather than allowing free thinking time and cutting it back later.
