World Language Day Set for
Tuesday:
Bonjour….Buenos Dias…Guten
Tag
Just a quick reminder that more than 1,500
students (the number has increased) from some 35 regional high
schools will be on the Slippery Rock University campus Tuesday
[Feb. 11] showing off their language skills as part of SRU’s
department of modern languages and cultures “World Language
Competition.” The event will offer feature photo
opportunities – and a chance to spotlight the importance of
undertaking a second language in high school.
Students
from Butler, Allegheny, Lawrence and Mercer counties will compete
for individual and school prizes in all levels of Spanish, French,
German and Latin. The event runs 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (primarily) in
Spotts World Culture Building. Planned are a 10:15 a.m. session
detailing flamenco music and dance in Room 216 and a 12:30 p.m.
session on children’s literature in Spanish in Room 116.
There also will be 30-minute sessions in Swedish, Korean, Japanese
and other world languages exposing the competitors to other
cultures and a session for high school language
teachers.
Those
planning to staff all or part of the day are asked to call
724-738-2199.
