A few important notes regarding the Contest Results, Enrollment & On-line test Site:
- For levels 01-5 the Contest will only be available online.
- FLES will remain available in both paper and pencil and online.
- All levels of the 2019 Contest are available without the need to register or log-in here: http://www.frenchteachers.org/concours/Resources/GC_Review.html You may share this link with potential participants so they can get a feel for the types of questions used in the online Contest.
- Contest fees will remain at $3.50 per student for members and $7 per student for non-members, plus any applicable Chapter fees (see homework below!)
- SPECIAL NOTE! If teachers would like to receive paper certificates by mail which they may use to print student awards on, there will be a small additional fee. Online certificates which the teachers fill in and print from their own computers will still be available at no charge.
- The 2019 Manual for Contest Administrators is being proofed and will be available soon.
- The Contest format changes made in 2019 will continue as in 2020:
- Levels 01-1-2-3 will again not include "language in context" type questions; these questions will be included in levels 4 and 5.
- New question types will replace language in context sections - such as putting a comic strip in order, additional pictures, additional readings, matching, videos, etc.
- Levels 4 and 5 will continue to include questions that combine both authentic audio and print materials (such as a podcast combined with an infograph on the same subject) - great practice for the AP!
