Women’s Sport ESL Lesson: The Rise of Women’s Sport

About This Women’s Sport ESL Lesson

For decades, women’s sport received limited attention, smaller crowds and far less media coverage than men’s sport. Today, stadiums are selling out, audiences are growing and major competitions are attracting millions of viewers.

This B1–B2 Women’s Sport ESL lesson explores how media coverage, social media, sponsorship and increased investment have helped transform women’s sport. Students consider changing attitudes, gender equality in sport and whether women’s competitions have finally entered the mainstream.

The lesson combines an original reading and audio with vocabulary, comprehension, discussion questions and critical-thinking activities. Students use English to discuss sport, equality, media representation, investment and what the continued growth of women’s sport could mean for athletes and fans.
