Fußball im Englischunterricht
'Some people believe football is a matter of life and death...I can assure you it is much, much more serious than that.' A lot of people in the UK and beyond tend to agree with legendary football manager Bill Shankly, even more when there is a world cup coming up.
In this topic our main focus is not only on this eagerly anticipated event alone but also on the wonderful world of football in general. So get your English classroom ready and your students will be able to tell you the difference between a 'dive' and a 'sweeper' in no time. You will definitely learn something new no matter if you are obsessed with the game or if you are a complete football illiterate.
