Podcast: Football
100th Grey Cup
While most people are familiar with America’s NFL (National Football League) and its exciting Super Bowl championship, Canada also has a football league called the CFL. At the end of the season, the top two CFL teams compete for the Grey Cup. This year Canada is celebrating its 100th Grey Cup! The championship will take place in Toronto on November 25th between the Toronto Argonauts and the Calgary Stampeders. It always adds to the excitement when the host city’s team is in the championship game! (Even Canada’s Justin Bieber will be there!)
In today’s mini-podcast, English learners discover the history behind the sport often referred to as “American Football”. This podcast is an audio preview of our ready-made Famous Things lesson plan. The Football lesson plan comes with vocabulary review, a reading, comprehension questions, and discussion questions. There is also a research task where students find out more about the “pigskin” itself. Preview all of ESL-Library’s Sports lessons here.
