  • 2019.02.09The 17th English Speaking Contest ~ Elementary Level

    123

    The 17th English Speaking Contest ~ Elementary Level, was held this afternoon. There were many changes to this year’s listening and speaking sections. The listen test was split into 3 very challenging sections: Putting the household items in the correct rooms/locations within a house, following directions on a map to get to an unknown destination and identifying shops and their location, as well as a conversation based recorded test. The Lower level speaking test was based on children going to shops to buy different items and explain why they had chosen each item. The Higher level speaking test was very cultural based, with the children asking and answering questions to get missing information as well as explaining in English how to use different Japanese items. We were all VERY impressed by how much and how naturally the children could use English to sustain conversations. Everyone should feel very proud of themselves today and we hope you all continue to enjoy speaking in English long into the future.

    The 17th English Speaking Contest ~ Kindergarten Level, was held this morning. This year saw many changes to the way we held the test, with more focus being put on natural conversation skills as well as putting the emphasis on the children having as much fun as possible! The children all completed the listening test first, which was split into new, action, classroom instruction and conversation based listening tests. Next, we were visited by ‘Grandma & Grandpa’ and were asked to go shopping to help them prepare for Grandma’s birthday party. The children all used so much English to communicate with each shopkeeper to collect all of the items on their shopping lists. The English teachers were very impressed with the high level of English being spoken this year and we all had so much fun! Well done everyone, you should all be very proud of your achievements today!
