Concurs d'anglès

The "Second English Competition for Catalan Schools" (THE FONIX 2009) is announced. The competition is organised by  International House and Fundació Catalana de l'Esplai.
The competition is backed by "Direcció General d' Innovació del Departament d' Educació de la Generalitat de Catalunya".

The aim of the competition is to complement the plans for improving English language learning in catalan schools. Given the importance of English in our society, the objective of the competition is to stimulate and motivate students' interest in the language.

• LOCAL STAGE: Test at the educational centres.
