2020 FLTRP@SUSTech Speaking Contest
The Center for Language Education (CLE) hosted a Speaking Contest this past Saturday, with 26 SUSTech students participating before a panel of five CLE judges. The contest was run in partnership with the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press (FLTRP), where top-level speaking candidates will participate in provincial and national level competitions.
The brave and well-spoken SUSTech students came from all undergraduate grade levels and presented personalized 3-minute videos pertaining to the topic of “Advancement and Challenges” providing in-depth analysis through refined presentation skills. Each of the participants answered two questions from the judges, giving detailed insight which clarified their positions on their topics, presenting through high-level speaking skills.
The FLTRP Speaking Competition is the first of three, with a Reading Contest and Writing Contest scheduled for next semester. Through these challenging platforms, SUSTech students are able to showcase their vast knowledge and experience through their English language skill sets, showcasing the broad depth of linguistic and cultural understanding.
Over the course of the Speaking Competition, each of the five the judges came away impressed by the student’s ability to articulate complex thoughts through both a prepared speech and real-time questions. This contest is an example of the high level of English ability among SUSTech students, and we look forward to continued displays of these skills in the upcoming Reading and Writing Competitions as well.
