European Day of Languages – English Language
26th November.2013 – On the occasion of the European Day of Languages, a knowledge quiz for English language students entitled „English speaking countries“ took place in our school, Transport Academy in Žilina. The 57 participating students were divided into two categories.
The quiz was thematically focused on English-speaking countries (United Kingdom, Ireland, USA, Canada and Australia). The students got the opportunity to show their knowledge of history, prominent personalities and important sites. The same issue is also part of leaving exam themes and therefore active participation helped students in their preparation for this exam.
The quiz itself consisted of four parts, including questions-choice answers, reading comprehension, listening and vocabulary exercises. In the end, the students had to add names of important people and sites to particular photographs..
The very same day were also announced the winners of The Best Poster competition, related to the subject of the quiz. The most original of them will be showcased in our school premises.
The organizers of the event were Mgr. I. Kubalová, Mgr. P. Panáková and Mgr. M. Ostrochovská.
