This prestigious event has grown to become a significant platform for students worldwide to showcase their linguistic prowess in French. With participants from diverse schools, both Indian and international, this year’s competition has once again highlighted the importance of fostering language learning through engaging and fair platforms.
The journey of the competition begins with the Prelims Round—the foundation of this meticulously designed contest that ensures a fair and transparent process for all participants.
The Prelims Round: Building the Foundation of Excellence
The prelims round is the first crucial step towards the finals of the International French Spell Bee. It sets the tone for the competition by identifying the most talented and deserving students to advance to the next stage. Here is a detailed look at the prelims process:
Exam Pattern
- Audio-Based Test: The prelims round consists of an audio test where students listen to 20 French words, played twice.
- The audio is clear and slow-paced to ensure every participant gets an equal chance to comprehend the words.
- Students must carefully listen and guess the correct spelling of each word.
- Answer Sheets: Each participant writes the correct spelling of the words on answer sheets provided by Le Frehindi. These sheets are preformatted to maintain uniformity and ease of evaluation.
- Provided Stationery: To avoid any inconvenience, all necessary stationery, including pens, pencils, and erasers, is provided by the organizing team.
Transparent Seating Arrangements
Students are seated at appropriate distances to ensure no interaction or unfair advantage. This arrangement fosters a focused environment where every participant competes on an equal footing.
Teacher Observation Room
To uphold the integrity of the process, teachers of the participating students are invited to a designated conference room where they can observe the entire prelims round. This open-door policy reflects the event’s commitment to transparency and fairness.
- Teachers are allowed to review the answer sheets after the completion of the round.
- They can verify the evaluation process to ensure that there is no bias or unfair practices.
Evaluation and Selection
Once the prelims round is completed, the answer sheets are carefully reviewed by the spell bee team. An average cutoff score is determined based on the overall performance of the participants.
- Selection of Qualified Students: Students who meet or exceed the cutoff are selected for the secondary round.
- Elimination: Unfortunately, participants who do not achieve the required score are eliminated and do not progress to the next stage. However, this transparent process ensures that every participant’s performance is fairly evaluated.
Upholding Fairness and Transparency
