Technical Mechanics

When this approach works

When this approach is not enough

Edooqoo Workflow

Move from learner evidence to one bounded next decision, then use an editable worksheet, homework task, or live activity to test that decision in an adult-relevant context.

Concrete Tutor Decision

Use the listening task to identify whether the next lesson should repair detail extraction, gist, inference, note-taking, or response timing.

Adult 1:1 Worked Example

A recurring adult learner needs English for a real workplace task. The tutor should use recent evidence to decide whether to repair a blocking gap, continue the same skill with less support, or advance into a more independent transfer task.

Sources and methodology references

Product workflow statements are checked against public Edooqoo source-of-truth documentation. Methodology framing is limited to adult 1:1 English tutoring and teacher-reviewed use.
