In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of Japanese people wishing to pursue a career as a professional athlete or sports coach. In this research, we describe how an English teaching technique involving genre-based activities enhanced the football training instruction foreign language communication skills of six student-athletes who want to be international football players or coaches. Two types of qualitative research (learning log records, semi-structured interviews) were used to analyze the changes in the participants’ English utterances during two task performance tests (football training instruction in English) during the 15-week study (mid-term and second semester) in terms of lexico-grammar and generic structure. The English teaching method using genre-based tasks was found to enhance the participants’ understanding of football coaching-specific lexico-grammar and generic structure, which they were able to apply to performance tests.
