FLAG MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL
SPOKEN LANGUAGE CONTEST
Invitation 2009

Dear Foreign Language Educators:

I am excited on behalf of FLAG to invite all foreign language teachers of Georgia to enter their students in the 2009 Middle & High School Spoken Language Contest, which will be held on Saturday, March 14 at Mill Creek High School and Darton College in Albany. The contest evaluates language students on their ability to communicate in the target language by conversation with an interviewer. Latin students will compete in an oratorical contest. If your students were any of the over 500 students that took part in the last contests then you know the reward these young people felt from participating.

YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A CONTEST PACKET IN THE MAIL! TEACHERS WILL REGISTER THEIR STUDENTS ELECTRONICALLY BY GOING TO FLAG'S SPOKEN LANGUAGE CONTEST WEBSITE. From the main page, select "MS/HS Contest" and information will be located there.

Registration for the contest locations will be under the direction of

• Jaime Claymore & Joe Uriz for the Mill Creek HS site and
• Polly Stadnik for the Darton College site.

Contact FLAG Contest Director Joe Frank Uriz (slc-mshs@flageorgia.org) if you have any additional questions or problems registering students for the contest.

Since nearly one hundred judges are needed to make this contest successful, we are requiring each school to send at least one judge. Schools who send more than 10 students should send at least one judge for each 7 or 8 students. This will ensure we have enough judges the day of the contest.

Please forward this contest information to your colleagues and remember the February 6 deadline. We look forward to seeing you and your students at the contest!

Sincerely,
Joe Frank Uriz, Contest Director

Thank you for your participation in FLAG!
