ESL Lesson Plans: World Cup Vocabulary


An easy entry point for utilizing the World Cup as a centerpiece for instruction is introducing vocabulary through it.

Consider some of these different types of vocabulary related to the World Cup:

Soccer rules and terms (i.e. red card, striker, out-of-bounds, corner kick).
Action Verbs (i.e. kick, run, pass, shoot, score, win).
Prepositions (i.e. in bounds, on the head, at the goal, to the teammate).
Nouns (penalties, referee, player, team, athlete, crowd, stadium).
Adjectives (i.e. rowdy, aggressive, determined, talented).
Countries of the World (i.e. Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Italy, Costa Rica).


Depending on the age and experience of your class, determine what the next phase of vocabulary instruction is.

What’s important to remember is that you do not want to just teach them terms specific to the World Cup because they can only use those every four years!

Instead, use topics related to the World Cup that they can use on a continual basis
