Dear colleague
Does your school teach Mandarin Chinese? Enter your students into the
HSBC/British Council Mandarin Chinese Speaking Competition and they
could be heading off to Beijing in April 2011!
The Competition, with Individual Language Ability and Group Performance
sections is for UK secondary school, sixth form and FE college students
who are non-native speaking learners of Mandarin Chinese. Regional
heats will be in early-mid December 2010 and the final will be held at
the British Museum in London on 10 March 2011. The prize is a week long
cultural visit to Beijing in April 2011 for the winning students and the
teacher of the winning group.
New school entrants are very welcome, even if you have only recently
started to teach Mandarin. The winner in the Beginner category of last
year's competition was from a school that had only been teaching
Mandarin for a year. Full information and the entry form are at
www.britishcouncil.org/schoolpartnerships-chinese-speaking-competition.h
tm Entry is now open and the closing date for entries is 3 November
2010.
