Teaching specialized vocabulary in Spanish is a good way to add variety to the lesson plan. This article provide a specialized Spanish vocabulary word list of sports and related terms (events, participants, venues, and sports equipment), along with a downloadable matching quiz.
This list can be used in the exercises suggested in the Bright Hub articles on Spanish medical vocabulary building (Parts 1 and 2). Specifically:
♦ Dividing the class into three groups, having the students circulate and confer with other students, and completing the worksheet. (See the suggested classroom activities in Part 1 for additional information and materials.)
♦ Pairing off the students, assigning an appropriate number of terms from list 1, and asking the students to compose sentences using terms from each list. (See the suggested classroom activities in Part 2 for additional information and examples.)
Consider adding a vocabulary matching quiz (based on these terms) to a regularly scheduled quiz. (See the suggested matching quiz below.)
A downloadable version of the Spanish Sports vocabulary in this article is available at Spanish Sports Vocabulary.
A downloadable version of the matching quiz is also available at Spanish Sports Vocabulary quiz.
