What is the Concurso Oral?
The
Concurso Oral is an opportunity for students to demonstrate the Spanish oral communication skills as well as to develop their general knowledge of the language. Students compete by language level as well as by categories. Categories include: narracion, poesia, teatro as well as two impromptu categories: lectura no preparada and conversacion.
Schools are expected to hold their own contest first. This was formal known as the Regional competition. Teachers are allowed to enter 5 entries per teacher per school for each event. A school's competition could include performances in class and a teacher(s) selecting the participants.
