Subject: Task # 7


7th TASK:
The classroom
Ryan’s text presents six of most common problems related to communicative methodology:
to provide adequate feedback, to clarify goals, to have consistency in teaching style, lessons need a routine or framework, must have cultural awareness and must be clear about student-teacher relationship.
Karly Wells’ lesson “Buy a Car” provides an adequate feedback and even presents a research phase, Internet sites are suggested. Students are able to prepare their background, if they have time to do some research.
But, in my opinion, the goals are not very well clarified because the lesson plan does not explain to students what they are going to learn and what they are going to practice in this lesson. I cannot analyze on consistency in teaching style, because it is a teacher personal tool and this is only a lesson plan analyze. This lesson has a routine but not as mentioned by Wells: warm up, presentation, controlled practice, free practice, and feedback. It seems to me that this lesson plan has cultural awareness as this lesson is about buying a car and this subject is reasonably common in our society. I am not sure this lesson is clear about student-teacher relationship, as this lesson plan seems to me simplified enough for not taking in conclusion. Anyway a clear student-teacher relationship should be built during daily activities.
My conclusion is that this lesson plan as any other lesson plan is just a guide, maybe a map of a relationship that must be carefully built. A lesson plan is a tool for making knowledge happen.
