Definition: This frame describes the process that involves the determination by an authority, the investigator, of the circumstances surrounding an incident by means of inquiry.
Core Elements: Incident/ Investigator
Example: The investigator attempts to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the incident, which is typically a criminal act (murder, robbery) or the result of such an act (death, loss of money).

Aims of the Lesson:

Main Aims: By the end of the lesson, the students will have been ;
•    introduced 5 new words/phrases ( commit a crime, incident, investigator, evidence, crime scene) under the criminal investigation frame by reading the summaries of two TV series (App. B).
•    familiarized with the meanings of 5 new words/phrases with the help of matching activity (App. B).

They are aware of the importance of the exams that they will take at the end of the courses. Most of the students do their homework regularly. As I observed, most of them repeat new topics that they learn when they go home because they can give answers if I revise previous topics. There are a few students who are a bit reluctant in the classroom. Most of the class is highly motivated and willing during lessons. It is necessary to say that all of them are quite respectful.

Anticipated Problems:

1.    The students may not understand the meaning of some new vocabulary items in the text.
The teacher will explain their meanings again to the students who have difficulties with understanding the meaning of the new words.

2.    Some of the students may ask irrelevant questions in the lesson.
The teacher will warn the students that these questions are irrelevant to the topic and ask them to talk about it in another lesson or during the break.

3.    Some of the students may not involve in the production activity in the group.
The teacher monitors all the groups and encourages reluctant students.

4.    The electricity may cut out or the projector and computer may not work.
