Novice Competition (1st/2nd year)
Prepared recitation: The teachers will have the opportunity to choose the readings for their students. Each reading, be it prose or poetry, should be approximately 15 and 20 lines. It must also be memorized and recited with feeling and emotion, not just read by rote. Each recitation should be no longer than 2 minutes. They will be evaluated on language assuredness/fluency, pronunciation, feeling and memorization. Please submit the text with the video recording.
Intermediate Competitions (3rd/4th year)
Impromptu role-play situations: Please reach out to the German Language Fair Organizer Sara Lee (sara.a.lee@asu.edu) for the role play situations. Teachers are responsible to keep the role play situations confidential until recording the students. Please give the students 5 min to prepare the role play and then record the students. Thank you for your cooperation. Students will decide in advance with whom they wish to work (must be in groups no larger than four people). They will be given a situation to negotiate. They will be evaluated on language assuredness/fluency, pronunciation, and grammar/vocabulary usage. Max speaking time is 4 minutes.
Intermediate known play: Students will prepare a short drama to perform. The videotaped performance will be uploaded on youtube and the link should be provided in this document. Student performances should be no longer than 10 minutes and must be memorized. The teacher must email a copy of the play or provide a link to the copy of the play for the judges in this form. Student performances will be evaluated on language assuredness/fluency, pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary usage, and preparedness. ***Only one group from each school at each level please. There are no restrictions for the group size.
