Subject: Task # 7: Ryan & Wells

QUESTION: Analyse K. Wells' lesson plan having Ryan's text as reference.

Karlys Wells' lesson plan seems to be destined to a class of students in an advanced level of learning: it has very precise instructions about what to do and the tasks are supposed to be done with the necessary bit of gumption - a quality of utmost importance; a must for everyone in order to accomplish any task nowadays.

However, it is difficult to state, by comparing Wells' text with Ryan's, if it is a good or bad lesson plan. Such difficulty comes from the fact that we have only a single extract of Wells' strategy to teach english. I'm forced to believe it is indeed a good lesson plan because I'm forced to give Wells the benefit of the doubt. (Who knows how his other lessons are?) Therefore, even being impossible to devise in Wells' text all the features presented in Ryan's text (features that show us how to overcome common problems related to communicative methodology, such as Consistency in Teaching Style, Cultural Awareness, Student-Teacher Relationship) I suppose it is an OK lesson plan.

For a more complete kind of comparison, I'd need to know what's the nationality of Wells audience. Then I would be able to make a more detailed analysis of his lesson plan (and I'd do it always referring to Ryan's text, of course).
