Express Series: English for Football: A short, specialist English course - Tapa blanda

'Perhaps the biggest strength to this book is the content. The vocabulary within each unit fits the need for any overseas player looking to communicate in an English speaking club. For example, for midfielders, there's track back, drop deep, through ball, play on, cut inside... Also within each unit there's a situational dialogue providing the learners with useful language such as how to ask for advice, how to help each other and for the less than perfect player, how to apologise! The language points are consolidated by extra tasks to do at the back of the book and a CD rom with further tasks. On a side note, I quite like the variety in the controlled practice tasks as they aren't all gap-fills and are likely to keep the students' interest...

I would imagine that this book would be useful on the shelf of any staffroom as it could be used to supplement small or one-to-one classes of teenagers or adults who are interested in football.' (International House Journal of Education and Development, Issue 34, Summer 2013)
