The
British Council on September 12th will work with the Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper
to launch an online English competition for Vietnamese students at the website http://thitienganh.nld.com.vn
The competition, under the auspices of the Ho
Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training is for Vietnamese students,
aged from 12 to 18 and is a part of the Premier Skills project organised by the
Premier League (Premier League) and the British Council worldwide to encourage
Vietnamese students across the country to study English.
Accordingly, contestants will have to complete
an online test consisting of 4 tasks: 3 multiple choice tasks and a writing
task (a paragraph of less than 200 words). Every 2 weeks, the 8 best
contestants will go through to an interview to select the top 5 who will be
presented with 5 EVEC 266V e-dictionaries and these in turn would have the
chance to compete in an exclusive competition to become Premier Skills
champion.
Premier Skills is a joint project of the
Premier League and the British Council, using football and the love of the
Premier League as an effective tool to develop the sporting community as well
as English skills.
The project was successfully tested in Egypt
and India in 2007 and 2008. Later, the first phase of the project was
successfully implemented in Africa (Botswana, Cameroon, Kenya, Malawi, Morocco,
Senegal, Sudan, Tunisia and Uganda), India (New Delhi, Kolkata, Goa and Kerala
) and Asia (China, Malaysia, Korea and Vietnam).
The competition, consisting of four separate
sessions, will end on November 6th.
