Football Language Podcast
Since 2006 the languagecaster team have been producing football language podcasts for learners of English. We have hundreds of podcasts in which learners and teachers of English can practise their listening and also build their football vocabulary. Over the years there have been different types of podcasts but generally they last between 5 and 15 minutes with lots of different features. If you have any suggestions or questions about the podcasts then you can contact us at admin@languagecaster.com.
The Show
- Learning English through Football
- Explanations of football language
- A review of the football news – with explanations and vocabulary support
- Some predictions of upcoming games
- Sometimes a football quiz
Main Features
- Authentic listening: the podcast is delivered at natural speed and feature real-life stories from the world of football.
- The podcast follows a similar format each week: an introduction, a review of the football week, an explanation of an English football phrase and predictions. All of these sections have language support for learners.
- The show focuses on a particular theme each week – usually something that is in the news at that time, for example, about a famous player or a competition that is taking place.
- As the content is authentic, it may be difficult for lower-level learners so teachers can adapt the tasks from the transcripts that are provided on our site.
