Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

a) The teacher displays the questions: "What exactly is an impostor? Can you think of any famous ones?. The teacher models the answer and encourages or nominates students to participate. b) The teacher introduced the case of Frédéric Bourdin as an example.

Clarification (8-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

a) In pairs, Ss match the words displayed with their definitions. Then, T nominates Ss to come to the board and match the words.

Exposure (5-8 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

a) Ss participate in answering: "Why might someone become an impostor?" b) Ss read the text in their worksheets and determine if Frédéric Bourdin becomes an impostor for the reason you thought.

Controlled Practice (5-8 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

a) Ss read again and underline what Frédéric Bourdain and Claire Chardourne said. b) T elicits the differences between two direct and reported speech sentences from the text. c) T explains the pattern of tense changes in reported speech.

Semi-Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice

a) In pairs, Ss rewrite the given direct speech sentences into reported speech. b) T monitors and provides open-class feedback.

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

a) In small groups, the first student receives a sentence and whispers it using reported speech to the next person. The last student says the final version aloud—does it match the original? b) T wrap-up discussion on changes and common mistakes.
