The
Spanish Pronunciation Contest has been going on in Wisconsin for more
than twenty years. The purpose of the contest is to celebrate and
promote the study of the Spanish language. An open, state-wide contest,
it gives Spanish great exposure and allows students to earn medals
for skills they work hard to develop all year long. The AATSP-WI (American
Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese-Wisconsin Chapter)
also sponsors the National Spanish Exam, but the Pronunciation Contest
highlights the oral communication skills that students develop in
addition to general knowledge of the language.
Like forensics, there are a variety of categories, but they are all
in Spanish. Students prepare and present memorized poems, narrations
and short theatre scenes. There are also two categories to demonstrate
their skills on-the-spot: an unprepared reading selection and a conversation.
Students as young as second grade participate at the FLES level. This
level is for students who study Spanish at the elementary level. Higher
levels include I,II, III, IV and V, which correspond to the level
they are studying in school. We even offer two special categories
for bilingual students!
The AATSP-WI offers scholarships of $100 for high school seniors
who participate in the contest and earn a 1st place ranking at the
State Contest. We are always looking for ways to involve more schools
and more students and to encourage long-term language learning.
Our website lists all the selections so that any school from around
the state can view the topics from year to year. The AATSP works on
networking all the interested teachers and schools in the state so
that everyone may receive the latest information.
