On April 29 and 30, the “Tedtalk” and “Spelling Bee – Language beyond the Borders” competitions were held among students of higher educational institutions of our country, organized by the International University for the Humanities and Development.
Tedtalk – is the art of expressing one’s thoughts in effective, understandable, grammatically correct and beautiful words. It is a skill aimed at developing speech culture, using the right tone and persuading the audience, and includes the content and mastery of speeches. This competition not only demonstrated their oratory skills, but also provided a great opportunity for young people to demonstrate and develop such important skills as creative thinking, free expression of their thoughts in foreign languages, and public speaking. In accordance with the regulations of the competition, held on April 29, participants presented their speeches in English on topics determined by drawing lots. Teachers of the higher educational institution evaluated the speeches in the competition.
