Introduction to week 2 of the World Cup Community Programme
Introduction to week 2 of the World Cup Community Programme
Welcome to week 2
Wow! What a week! Some great games and great goals. What was your favourite? Cristiano Ronaldo's free-kick against Spain, Harry Kane's hat-trick against Panama or maybe Toni Kroos' injury-time goal against Sweden? Which team has been the best? Mexico and Russia have made great starts and Colombia had a great result against Poland. The best thing? There are still three weeks to go!
This is the second week in a four-week programme designed around the World Cup and English. Each week, we have lessons for you to complete that will teach you about the countries that are competing, the language you need when watching the match and special grammar and vocabulary related to the World Cup.
In week 2, the first lesson is the World Cup WebQuest. Each week, we’re taking eight countries and you have to answer some tough questions based on the information in our country profiles. This week you'll be travelling to Saudi Arabia, Peru, Morocco, Sweden, Tunisia, Switzerland, Senegal, and Nigeria but not necessarily in that order.
We have two football shout-out lessons. The topics are the opposition and instructions we shout at players. Following this, we have this week's podcast. The topic this week is vocabulary and extreme adjectives. We finish the week with a quiz for you to show that you have understood all the language that we look at this week.
Please use the comments section below if you have any comments or questions about any of the content on the programme.

Spain vs Portugal was one of the best matches of the tournament. And CriRo’s free-kick was a magic score.

I am excited to start the second week of this course because so far I have added new vocabulary, I learned about countries that I did not know much about, I have learned to use the passive voice and British idioms that are used in football. For this new week I have great expectations and I hope to learn a lot more especially in football because I am very poor of knowledge in regards to that sport.

The first week was full of great activities that drive us into the eight countries, their culture, English vocabulary related not only to football but to the general aspects applicable to a daily living, this is a valued knowledge that is been handy in every setting where I work.
I have big expectations for the second one, I´m sure will be as interesting and challenging as the first week.

Hello World Cup Community Program !!
The first week was full of very interesting and interesting contents which contribute a great variety of knowledge, I really like the fact that the course goes beyond the theme of soccer and teaches us culture to grammar, sincerely the course has made me think that It is important that we do not learn English only in school classes, we must live it in each experience as when watching a game. This course has been very productive and I reiterate my thanks to the British Council community for being watching over learning around the world, covering the topics of English, culture, grammar and development of the discipline.
Bye !!!
