CITY FOOTBALL LANGUAGE

Develop your English skills and train at the Etihad Campus, the home of Manchester City, on our Football Language Programme for 9-17 year olds.

Delivered by our coaches who are experienced in Manchester City's philosophy and methodology, our football sessions provide players with a genuine insight into how Manchester City players train. Players can also expect to better understand how a modern footballer is moulded, all the while continually honing their English skills in an authentic, practical, and engaging environment. Our football focuses on the following key areas:

• Development of individual technique and skills
• Challenging 1v1 practices
• Team play and working together
• Improved understanding of how Manchester City perform through playing games

Our language lessons follow a Manchester City themed syllabus and draw on interactive technology to make learning fun! In particular, players can expect to learn about different football professions and what a typical day looks like for a player, manager, analyst and journalist. This will be followed by practical activities which put the skills from these professions into practice, such as:

1. Press conference and media interviews
2. Football analysis and punditry
3. Match commentating and discussion
4. Video and written journalism projects

Not only will this help players enhance their English proficiency, but they will do so expressively, enthused by their favourite topic: reading, writing, listening, and talking all things football! Ultimately, players are encouraged by their language teacher to speak with confidence, creativity, and fluidity in the classroom; complementing the way they are inspired to play by Manchester City coaches on the training pitch.
