CONCOURS INTER-LYCÉES D'ART ORATOIRE EN ANGLAIS

INTER-SCHOOL PUBLIC SPEAKING COMPETITION

- AUVERGNE -

M. Henri DURAN, Doyen, Collège des Inspecteurs d'académie - Inspecteurs pédagogiques régionaux, académie Clermont-Ferrand, writes:

This speaking competition is a great opportunity for lycée pupils to gain knowledge and to build their self-confidence. It will help them develop their skills in research, discussion, reflection, writing, team-work, oral presentation, etc. It is all the more relevant as those skills (contained in the "socle commun de connaissances, de compétences et de culture") are of course required for their studies and their various "parcours éducatifs".

I consider the Speak out! experience immensely valuable to our young citizens in today’s world.
