10. QUIZ FORMAT

1) Hybrid Questioning Approach

Our quiz uniquely blends traditional paper-and-pen questions with online queries, engaging participants in both individual and team-based challenges. To aid preparation, comprehensive quiz revision booklets will be distributed to all teachers (or directly to students, should teachers provide student email addresses) by Monday Week 8.

2) Equitable Competition Structure

To ensure fairness, the Individual Challenge is divided into six categories for fairness.

  • Years 7-8 Second Language

  • Years 9-10 Second Language

  • Years 11-12 Second Language

  • Years 7-8  Background Language

  • Years 9-10 Background Language

  • Years 11-12 Background Language

 

Individual Challenge

 

Part 1: Chinese Knowledge Written Quiz (15 minutes)

Students complete a set of written questions within 20 minutes. Teachers will collect and manually grade the answer sheets.

 

Part 2: Cultural Knowledge Quiz (15 minutes)

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.

The competition questions in Part 1 and Part 2 are divided into four groups of different difficulty levels to ensure fair competition for first language and background language students. Therefore, teachers are requested to strictly classify student registrations according to their actual year levels and language backgrounds on Trybooking. 

 

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)

This segment features a comprehensive knowledge quiz conducted in mixed school teams. Teams are composed of both first language and background language students, spanning Years 7-9 and Years 10-12, with 2-4 members in each team. Teams are permitted to use a mobile phone or computer during this on-site buzzer quiz competition.

The team achieving the highest score will be honored with the first-place award in the team challenge, with awards also presented to the second and third-place teams.
