Football World Cup 2018
I think this is a very useful text and set of exercises about the football / soccer World Cup. Thank you.
World Cup 2018
Hello,
Thanks for the great lesson plan! My (mostly male) students will love it! I just want to ask were I can find the exercises about the text. I only see the correction of the exercises in the downloads.
Greetings,

Exercises for World Cup text
Hi Lies14,
I'm glad your students enjoyed the lesson. The exercises that go with the World Cup reading text can be found on our LearnEnglish Teens site along with the text, here: https://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/sites/teens/files/world_cup...
Hope that helps!

A wonderful & up-to-date Course Plan
it's a wonderful & up-to-date Course Plan designed for improving many language abilities of B1 Level students, including verb-phrases usage, scenes-description, World-cup knowledge-store, information-seeking & recording, teamwork discussion, and presentation-management...
We can also divide it into small pieces, such as activities & games, and put them before the formal classes as warm-ups or interesting make-ups.
Quiz part can been enriched and more knowledge points can be added in, alongside 2018 World Cup's on-going. Meanwhile, information's level can be upgraded from some searching website such as Wikipedia, BBC videos, even Facebook, and so on.
In addition, more sentences of self-reflexivity and self-expressions from teachers or students can be added in Task 1verbs-filed vocabulary, through interviewing students from their mother tongues.
Finally, Give a 'like' to this course plan!
Hopefully, we can enjoy 2018 World Cup as one of the biggest events of this year!
World cup 2018 work sheet!
In the worksheet task 4 and 5 are missing it is 3 then comes task 6. Am I wrong?
Hi Arya,
Hi Arya,
The tasks on the worksheet here are numbered to correspond with the tasks on the lesson plan. On the lesson plan, tasks 4 and 5 involve activities and resources from LearnEnglish Teens, not from the worksheet here, so that's why there isn't a task 4/5 section on the worksheet here.
Hope that helps and that you and your learners enjoy the lesson!
