Lesson Arc Library For Adult Learners

"insights from real conversations and real problems"

Adult learners need lessons that respect their time and energy. This library offers three repeatable lesson arcs designed for weekday evenings when attention is low.

Arc 1 — Recover & rehearse (30 minutes)

  • 8 minute recap conversation using last week’s feedback board.
  • 12 minute targeted drill with a single grammar move.
  • 10 minute role play that mirrors a real situation they reported in the intake form.

Arc 2 — Learn & launch (45 minutes)

  • 10 minute story hook using a short transcript.
  • 20 minute guided discovery with coloured prompts (print or Miro board).
  • 15 minute launch task: learners produce an audio memo before leaving.

Arc 3 — Sustain & share (60 minutes)

  • 15 minute warm-up contest in breakout pairs.
  • 30 minute project sprint with progress captured in shared docs.
  • 15 minute debrief; assign a micro challenge for the next check-in call.

what do you think?

this article might've started as a scribble on the back of a receipt during a bus ride, a spark of something real after a conversation over a pint of leffe, or notes from a sunday afternoon client call that left me buzzing with ideas. however it came to be, i hope it found you at just the right moment.

if it stirred something in you, or if you're just curious about anything from automating the boring bits of your business to capturing your quiet magic in a coffee shop shoot. shall we pencil something into the diary?

i'd love to be on the other end of the conversation.
