QUIZ FORMAT
To ensure a fair competition, the same topics will be set for Years 8-12 Second Language Learners and Years 8-12 Background Language Learners (Chinese Second Language Learners with a cultural or linguistic background in Chinese), but with different levels of difficulty. This allows each language pathway to showcase their abilities. Therefore, we kindly request teachers to register their students under the correct learner pathway.
The quiz will include a combination of paper and pen questions as well as online questions, with both individual and collaborative components. A detailed program for the evening will be provided to participants closer to the event date.
Individual Challenge
Part 1 Chinese Knowledge Written Test (15 minutes)
Competition Mode: Each student is given a set of competition questions and an answer sheet to complete the written test within the specified 15 minutes. The questions and answer sheets will be collected and manually graded by the teacher at the end of the allotted time.
The competition questions in Part 1 are divided into four groups of different difficulty levels to ensure fair competition for second language and background language students in both middle and senior years. Therefore, teachers are requested to strictly classify student registrations according to their actual language backgrounds.
Part 2 Cultural Knowledge Quiz (20 minutes)
Competition Mode: Each student needs to bring a mobile phone or computer to participate in the Kahoot quiz. The scores will be automatically calculated in the Kahoot backend.
The quiz questions in this part only cover cultural knowledge and do not involve language skills, so there are no subgroups for the competition questions.
The highest score in the individual challenge will be awarded to the participating student with the highest total score in Part 1 and Part 2 of the competition questions. The gold, silver, and bronze awards for the individual challenge, as well as various individual awards, will be announced on the same evening.
Team Challenge
Part 3 Comprehensive Knowledge Competition (30 minutes)
Competition Mode: This is a comprehensive knowledge competition conducted in school teams. Each team consists of a mix of second language students, background language students, junior high school students, and high school students, with 2-4 members per team. Each team is allowed to use a mobile phone or computer to participate in the on-site buzzer quiz.
The team with the highest score will be awarded the first place in the team challenge, followed by the second and third place team awards.
