  "title": "Repeat the message, not a memorised script",
  "summary": "Keep the idea stable while making its delivery easier.",
  "kind": "protocol",
  "body": "Explain the same topic more than once, with less preparation each time. A small ESL study used four-, three- and two-minute talks; treat that timing as a format, not a law. Preserve the argument instead of winning a race against the clock.",
  "limits": [
    "Shorten less if accuracy collapses. Fluency on one rehearsed topic is not general language mastery."

    {
      "claim": "In the small ESL experiment, the repeated-topic group maintained fluency gains after training, unlike the different-topic group.",

      "role": "supports",

  "use_when": [
    "You know your subject but lose fluency when explaining it aloud."

    "Shorten less if accuracy collapses. Fluency on one rehearsed topic is not general language mastery."

  "example": "You explain why a data load failed, then repeat the account with a clearer cause, impact and next step.",
  "check": "Compare lost details and disruptive pauses. Faster speech with missing facts is not an improvement.",
  "steps": [
    "Choose a familiar event and three facts that must survive.",
    "Give the explanation, then repeat it more briefly without reading a script.",
    "Later, explain a related event to check whether any improvement transfers."
