Evaluate student's English Language and Literacy skills with English Competition
English, the world’s international language and perhaps one of the most important subjects in the Pakistani curriculum, is a key building block for academic success.
Recognizing the educational importance of this subject, the English competition aims to objectively assess student performance based on the current year’s English syllabus. Skills such as daily living skills, critical and creative thinking, and clear communication not only help you perform well in the humanities but also form the basis for all other areas of academic, social, and professional life.
Specifically, some of the most important abilities in the current world are the ability to comprehend, analyze, and create texts. But this extends beyond the well-known classics that have been studied for years, such as Shakespeare and Charles Dickens.
More than just an English competition with questions composed and assessed annually by professional teachers. Papers are methodically assessed to encourage curiosity and learning in pupils with a variety of skill levels, including exceptional and talented ones. By examining a range of texts, participants improve their ability to express themselves. Questions are meant to gauge comprehension of language-related elements, like:
- Vocabulary
- comprehension
- syntax
- structure
- voice
As a result, students gain a unique educational opportunity that pushes them academically both inside and outside of the classroom, as well as a better awareness of their particular areas of strength and growth.
