Adapted from Littlejohn (1998), p. 210. I substituted activity for task, to allow analysis of the wider range of Unit 4 elements that do not fully include all of the components of Nunans (1987) definition (input, goal, activities, roles, and outcomes). Note: Lesson 7 is not included in this chart, since it is of a different type than all other parts; it includes listening and vocabulary review/assessment tools, and a box-check learning log.
