2015 World Language Program - Alaska School Activities Association

Welcome From ASAA
Welcome to the 2015 First National
Bank Alaska State World Language
Declamation competition. The staff
at ASAA joins our schools, coaches,
parents and communities in congratulating all the students who have qualified for this state culminating event.
Speaking and listening skills that have
been honed though learning a second
language will be a valuable asset as
these students further their education
and enter the competitive world of
work. Co-Directors Kristi Senden and
Elizabeth Dicks, along with the staff at
South Anchorage High School, have
been working diligently to prepare
for this annual championship competition. They, along with many volunteers
from the Anchorage area, deserve
your sincere thanks.
Billy Strickland,
Executive Director
Alaska School Activities Association
(ASAA)
Special Thanks To
• Declamation Co-Directors
Kristi Senden, Chugiak High School
Elizabeth Dicks, South Anchorage High School
• Administration, Faculty, Staff & World Language Department
of the Anchorage School District

Event Descriptions
Culture Trivia
Students take a 50-question test based on the
cultures of their target language. Most of the multiple
choice questions are taken from Teachers Discovery
Culture Trivia. Students in 1st and 2nd levels take
the test in English, while 3rd and 4th level students
take the test in their target language.
Poetry Recitation
Students memorize and deliver classic and
contemporary poems in their target language. They
recite two poems -one required and one alternate
of their choice from an approved list. Students are
judged on memorization, pronunciation, delivery
and expression.
Dialogues & Impromptu
Students use their knowledge and language skills to
respond to real-world questions. After each student
or pair of students (for dialogues) selects a different question, they have two minutes to prepare.
This contest is a true test of a student's fluency and
spontaneity in the target language.
