Procedure

1. Objectives and a warming up.

We live in Europe. We often hear about integration into the European Community. This year the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as Euro 2012, will be hosted by Ukraine and Poland. It is the first time that either nation has hosted the tournament. But how much do we know about Europe and the sport event which is much spoken about these days? Let's get to know it.

2. Lead-in: a quiz about Europe.

Here is a quiz for you. (slide 2) Try to answer the following questions. You get 1 point for each correct answer.

Quiz

1. What is the capital of Europe?

2. What is the center of Europe?

3. What does the word "Europe" mean?

4. What is the European currency?

5. What is the European furthermost northern country?

6. What is the European furthermost southern one?

7. What do the letters EU stand for?

8. When is European Union Day?

9. Which European country has the greatest number of islands in the world?

10. What is the European flag?

Scoring: How many points have you got? Don't get upset, you'll get the answers.
Guided speaking: predicting the answers.

3. Reading for detailed comprehension: Let us get to know Europe. (slides 3-9)

The center of Europe is the Ukrainian town Rakhiv. Brussels is considered to be the capital of Europe. In Greek the word "Europe" means: "big eyes". In Greek mythology this was the name of a beautiful girl kidnapped by Zeus. Iceland is the furthermost northern country and Cyprus is the furthermost southern one. The letters EU stand for the European Union, and the 9th of May is European Union Day. The European Union has a flag of its own - a closed circle with 12 yellow stars on a blue fields. These 12 stars have never represented 12 member States of the European Union (there are 27 now and some are going to join) but 12 is a symbol of perfection, unity and harmony. Finland has the greatest number of islands in the world (There are 179,584 of them there).

4. Vocabulary Practice:

Identifying countries and their locations. What are the member states of EU? Let’s look at the map. (slide 10)

The EU has grown slowly from 6 members in 1952 (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands - were the Founding members of the EU). There were 15 countries in it till 2004. And in 2004 more than ten countries joined the Union. Now the European Union is composed of 27 sovereign Member States (slides 11-13):

From the Street

Reporter: Riots after sports events are in the news more and more these days. In your opinion, what is causing this violence?

Joey G.: My friends and I go to football games all the time. When a team wins a big game, the fans want to be crazy and have a good time. That's normal. There just should be more police.

Ellen: I don't go to soccer matches anymore. I worry about alcohol at the games. That's the problem. When people drink, they do stupid things.

Julie: The troublemakers aren't real fans. They just want to be in a big crowd and act crazy. They shouldn't allow those people to go to the games.

Herman: Fans get angry if their team loses - especially if it's a big game. They should keep the two groups of fans apart. That's the cause of the problem.

Talking Points: expressing agreement/disagreement, reporting points of view to the group. Do you agree with any of the comments? Why or why not? Have you ever been to a football match? What are your impressions? Have you ever read/watched about violence in sport events? What are your thoughts about it?

Reading an article and an interview for detailed comprehension (in groups): Read to find the answers to these questions then fill in the table and talk about violence in football and how it can be prevented.

1. What are the main causes of mob violence?

2. How can officials stop violence at sports events?

Psychologists Study the Causes of Mob Violence

What is the connection between violence and sports? Psychologists say that there are many reasons for violence at sports events. One is alcohol. Many fans drink a lot at games. When people drink, they are more likely to do abnormal things. Psychologist Dennis Brock says, "Quiet people become loud. Normally nonviolent people become destructive:'

David Sampson, a sports sociologist, agrees. "These are often celebratory riots – a large number of very happy people mixed in with large amounts of alcohol. They don't often seem dangerous in the beginning, but things get violent quickly."

Another reason for violence at sports events is the crowd itself. When individuals are in a large group of people, they can lose their sense of personal responsibility. Edward Hirt, a social psychologist, says that research shows that people do things in crowds that they would never do alone. People in crowds feel anonymous – no one knows who they are. Crowds also make people feel powerful. They stop making personal decisions. They just follow the crowd. Social psychologists call this a "mob mentality."

Dave Zarifis, head of public safety at Northern Iowa University says, "Some people don't even come to celebrate. They want to drink hard and make trouble. Someone does something stupid, and it grows from there. You get a mob mentality. People think it's OK to do almost anything.

Social psychologist Dr. Sharon Kennedy says that there are a few things officials can do to prevent violence. Making sure that an area is not overcrowded is very important. Officials should also think of games as "big parties." Then they will prepare differently. Kennedy says that in Great Britain they are controlling the problem with cameras in all the stadiums. "When you know someone is watching, you are much less likely to behave badly."

1. What are the main causes of mob violence?

2. How can officials stop violence at sports events?

Football Violence Has Increased Drastically

P: With us today is Don Lewis, the Premier League's top scorer, to talk to us about football violence. Welcome, Don.

D: It’s great to be here, Peter.

P: Now, first of all, how does football violence start?

D: It can actually start before a match. If seats are oversold, problems can start very easily. There's also the problem of fans. If they consider a referee's decision unfair, they may get very angry and start fights. Worst of all is when the players themselves start fighting on the pitch and so encourage the fans to fight as well. I mean, to our fans, we are heroes. They want to be like us and if we behave violently, then they do as well. To a large extent, what happens in the stadium is our responsibility.

P: And how can this violence be prevented?

D: Well, first of all, as I said before, we as players must set a good example by avoiding violence on the pitch. Police officers also help to keep things under control making sure that no dangerous objects or drunk people get into the stadium. But I think the most important thing is to make the fans understand that football is a sport. It's not a matter of life or death. They need to realise that people have the right to support whichever team they prefer, and that really there's nothing to fight about.

P: Well, thank you, Don. What you say makes a lot of sense, and I hope fans will pay attention to it.
