Repair, Clarify & Reframe

General English · C2 · Full lesson: ~98 min · 8 parts

At C2, repair is not simply correcting a mistake. Skilled speakers refine claims, diagnose misunderstandings and reshape meaning while keeping the interaction moving.

By the end of this lesson, you can:

✓
Repair your own wording smoothly when it is inaccurate or too strong
✓
Use reformulation markers to refine meaning without restarting the whole turn
✓
Use echo structures and clarification frames to diagnose misunderstandings
✓
Reframe another speaker's claim neutrally and accurately
✓
Use discourse ellipsis to keep repair sequences concise and natural

You can take this lesson over several sessions. Finish one part and return to continue.
