NATIONAL POETRY RECITATION CONTEST

2019

Why to take part in the National Poetry Recitation Contest 2019

What is it?

 The National Poetry Recitation Contest (NPRC) is an annual, national English-language contest for public school students (forms 7-12) in Armenia. Students study, analyze and perform poems and speeches in English, picking from a selection offered for their form. Registration and poems will be available at http://nprcarmenia.com/ from January 14, 2019. Regional contests will take place in March 2019. The national finals will be held at AUA on Saturday, May 4, 2019.

 

Reasons to compete:

1: AUA is the five-year national sponsor of the contest—they see NPRC contestants as high-quality students for their university. Get to know AUA through NPRC.

2: The FLEX program supports NPRC—your NPRC certificate and experience will look good on your FLEX application.

3: Improve spoken English and public speaking skills.

4: Enhance critical thinking by using our Teacher Guides to explore the meaning and purpose of an English-language poem or speech—a vital skill for students preparing for university education.

5: Network with native English speakers, and prominent Armenian business and civic leaders who speak good English. Gain valuable career and academic contacts.

6: Make your parents proud when they see you on stage at your regional contests—and possibly at the finals in Yerevan.

7: Have fun.

8: Possibly win a prize at regional or national level—or both.

9: Build a valuable peer network of fellow English speakers from schools all over Armenia

10: 78 national finalists will be invited to take part in a five-day Creative English camp in Summer 2019—completely free.
