The Foreign Language Association of Georgia (FLAG) invites you to participate in the The 2005-2006 Year of Languages Student Video Contest
In celebration of The Year of Languages, we invite you to have your students design a "commercial spot" promoting second language learning. Prizes will be awarded!
Theme: The video should relate to Foreign Language advocacy or the Year of Languages theme, "Celebrate, Educate, Communicate the Power of Language Learning."
Who Can Participate: Foreign language or ESOL students (K-12) who are in classes of current FLAG members.
Requirements: Each foreign language teacher in the state of GEORGIA may submit one student-produced video per language taught. (For example, if the teacher teaches Spanish level one and German levels one and two, then he/she may enter one Spanish video and one German video.) The class/teacher should decide which video goes to the state competition.
Videos must be:
- in VHS format on standard size VHS tapes
- no shorter than 30 seconds and no longer than 1 minute
- in the target language with English "subtitles" or in English with target language "subtitles", or entirely in English (especially for ESOL or classical language classes)
- accompanied by parent release forms (PDF = Adobe Reader required) for each student in the video
Divisions of Participation: Grades K-2, Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8, Grades 9-12, and Postsecondary
Prizes: First, second and third place winners will be selected from each division and will receive trophies provided by FLAG. The winning videos will be featured at the general session of the March FLAG conference on Jekyll Island and the sponsoring teachers will be recognized. It is possible that the videos may be used as public service announcements, featured at regional or national language events, or used by our sponsors.
