“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head.
If you talk to him in his language that goes to his heart.” – Nelson Mandela
The Modern Foreign Languages Department organized a vibrant Inter-Clan Spell Bee competition in French, German, and Spanish on Tuesday, August 13, 2024. The event was designed to foster a love for languages, encourage multilingualism, and broaden the cultural horizons of our learners. Participants were Grade 7 learners, each studying one of the three languages. They approached the competition with enthusiasm and a strong desire to showcase their linguistic skills. The competition offered them an opportunity to expand their vocabulary in areas such as salutations, everyday objects, animals, numbers, and more. Learners worked on perfecting their pronunciation and spelling in their chosen language.
The Spell Bee competition was structured into three rounds: Translation Round in which participants translated words from the target language into English, Reverse Translation Round in which participants translated words from English into the target language and Picture Identification Round in which participants identified images and named them in the target language.
The selection of words presented a varying degree of difficulty, challenging learners to push their limits. The atmosphere was electric as learners eagerly competed, demonstrating their growing proficiency in their chosen language.
The competition concluded with the results being announced by one of the judges. The event was not only a test of language skills but also an opportunity for learners to become more open-minded, internationally aware, and to develop a growth mindset.
Overall, the Spell Bee was a resounding success, celebrating linguistic diversity and promoting cross-cultural understanding in an engaging and interactive way. The event was a testament to the power of language learning in opening up new horizons and fostering global citizenship among our learners.
