Stage C Capstone: The Promotion Cycle: guided B2+ practice

The language problem this module solves

Stage C Capstone: The Promotion Cycle is organised around a workplace decision, not a list of phrases. The first lesson addresses this need: Can produce the proposal and the presentation script for one integrated scenario. The final task checks this combined result: All artifacts self-scored; trio complete; portfolio ready for the completion assessment. Practise with invented but realistic details, then adapt the language to your own authority, channel and relationship.

Level: B2+. This module contains 3 connected lessons. Follow the order when the topic is new, or use the lesson map to repair one specific gap.

The lesson map

What useful practice looks like

• The Brief: Make the Case for the Change: Can produce the proposal and the presentation script for one integrated scenario.
• The Hard Part: Resources, Feedback, the Interview: Can navigate the branching resource negotiation, the difficult feedback conversation and the internal interview inside one scenario.
• Debrief: Models, Scores, Your Stage C Trio, and What Comes Next: All artifacts self-scored; trio complete; portfolio ready for the completion assessment.

Use true information where possible. A sentence about your own routine, work or plans is easier to remember than a sentence copied from a model.

A study routine for Stage C Capstone: The Promotion Cycle

1. Read the outcome for The Brief: Make the Case for the Change before the examples.
2. Say or write one model, then change at least two details.
3. Complete the quiz before opening its answer panels.
4. Use the module checkpoint to produce Debrief: Models, Scores, Your Stage C Trio, and What Comes Next independently.
5. Return only to the lesson that matches the error you found.

How the lessons work together

Stage C Capstone: The Promotion Cycle is a sequence, not a folder of unrelated pages. The Brief: Make the Case for the Change establishes the first usable move. Later lessons add control, choice and time pressure. Debrief: Models, Scores, Your Stage C Trio, and What Comes Next asks you to combine the module without copying an answer.

• The Brief: Make the Case for the Change: Can produce the proposal and the presentation script for one integrated scenario
• The Hard Part: Resources, Feedback, the Interview: Can navigate the branching resource negotiation, the difficult feedback conversation and the internal interview inside one scenario
• Debrief: Models, Scores, Your Stage C Trio, and What Comes Next: All artifacts self-scored; trio complete; portfolio ready for the completion assessment

Keep one piece of evidence from the first lesson and improve the same piece at the checkpoint. That comparison shows more than a quiz score because it records what changed in your own language.

Use Stage C Capstone: The Promotion Cycle beyond the course

After the checkpoint, change one variable: the listener, purpose, channel or time pressure. Keep the central meaning from The Hard Part: Resources, Feedback, the Interview while adapting the delivery. This shows whether the language is available outside the model.

If the result becomes unclear, compare it with the outcome for the exact lesson involved. Correct that gap instead of restarting unrelated work.

How to know you are ready to continue

Do not judge readiness by reading speed. You are ready when you can complete the checkpoint task with a clear message, understandable language and no copied answer. A small number of errors is normal at B2+; errors should not hide your meaning.

If the checkpoint is difficult, repeat the lesson whose outcome matches the problem. That is faster than restarting the whole module.
