COMPETITION: Best in English 2015/2016

Students spontaneously seek competition with their peers. It is not surprising that education and competition are familiarly related. It is natural for students to compete and, therefore, understandable that competition is put to educational use.

On the one hand students are eager to explore their boundaries and expand their horizons...On the other hand many students feel it is difficult to express their talents in school. Exams and group assignments do not always capture students’ unique skills or accurately measure the ability to apply skills to real-world problems.

By participating in a competition students benefit from the opportunity to show their talent and apply skills. Obviously, not everyone who enters the competition will win. But this is not time wasted, it is time spent learning and growing. Competitions should provide an enriching and stimulating experience.

We organise several language competitions and also take part in competitions organised by different organisations and educational institutions. This academic year our school EDUCAnet Praha participated in competition Angličtinář roku 2015/16. For the first time it had an international dimension in a competition BEST in ENGLISH.

We called on all those who wanted to check their knowledge with students from other schools and possibly get one of the many rewards.
The competition was held on 27 January 2016 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Unfortunately, the number of competitors was limited. Over 20 students took part, the best ones.
The online Test compiled on the B1-C1 levels of the European Framework of Reference included grammar, listening and orientation of the text. The test lasted exactly 60 minutes from the log in. After completing the test students were acquainted with their accomplishments. They did their Best.

The final results will be announced on February 18, 2016. We are excitedly waiting to the final scores and hoping for the best results for our Best!
