两文三语故事演讲比赛 2018-2019
In love with Shakespeare
愛上了莎士比亞
Objectives
This competition aims to cultivate students' interests in learning English, Cantonese and Putonghua by exposing students to stories written by William Shakespeare. In addition, through engaging students in mastering story-telling skills, students could enhance the speaking skills of the three languages.
Target participants
All students (including full-time and part-time UGC students, self-funding students and postgraduate students) are welcome to participate.
Regulations
Each participant will perform individually. There will be a screening test for an applicant to become an eligible participant. An eligible participant has to use the story excerpt provided by the Competition Organizer. Each participant has to choose one story excerpt and tell the story according to the language required. Each story excerpt consists of three parts in which Cantonese, Putonghua and English are used respectively. Extra points will be awarded if the participant can recite the script.
Participants can use more creative methods, e.g., the use of props, costumes, background visuals and music, facial expressions, hand and body gestures to make their performance livelier and more engaging. The duration of each performance should not exceed 10 minutes.
Stages
There will be a briefing session, storytelling workshop, training sessions, and a competition.
