British Council Mandarin Speaking Competition 2021

The British Council is pleased to announce that a digital Mandarin Speaking Competition will take place in a series of online events. The competition provides a great opportunity for secondary school students to practise and improve their Mandarin language skills.

Taking part in the competition:

  • increases students’ motivation for learning the language

  • develops vocabulary and improves pronunciation

  • raises confidence for oral examinations

  • encourages students to interact with their classmates

  • inspires students to discover more about Chinese culture.

What is the prize?

In past years, a trip to China was the prize for the winners of this competition. Unfortunately that will not be possible this year, due to Covid-19. But we are working with our partners on an idea for an intriguing alternative prize.

Applications for 2021 are now open.
