GCMLTAQ Language Speech Contest
An exciting opportunity for students to showcase their spoken language skills at Griffith University is coming! Each year, the GCMLTAQ Language Speech Contest is held in Term 3 and we had some great success last year with all of our competitors receiving a minimum of a Highly Commended.
To support students in being confident with their speeches, we will commence practice for this event very soon.
All interested students are encouraged to contact Ms Vickers via email (rvick20@eq.edu.au) to express their interest. Further details will be shared via Student Notices in the coming weeks.
Language support at home
With assessment dates coming, revising class notes and practising vocabulary in EP is important in supporting academic success in Japanese. Students in all year levels will complete an exam before the end of Term 2. Please see the image below with some ways you can support your child/children with preparing for their upcoming assessment.
