NCKU Chinese Language Center has organized Chinese Singing Contest from November 16th to 19th in a classroom of Chinese Language Center, Shiou-Chi Building, Kuang-Fu Campus, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan, for international students, allowing them to enjoy the fun of learning language and experience the culture behind the language.
The second day is the climax of the competition, where nearly a hundred of international students came to see the singing performance brought by four groups of students dressed in colorful costumes, singing various popular songs and swinging their hips.
Although their language ability is still limited and the lyrics are often off, the outgoing international students have put on short dramas and hot dances to resolve the awkwardness, not giving any thought to the images they may present, winning laughter and applauses from the audience.
The four-day Chinese Singing Contest is organized into individuals and groups, attracting nearly 120 international students from United States, Canada, England, Korea, Japan, Vietnam and Thailand to participate, and each student has fully demonstrated his or her achievements of language learning and also potential of performing.
The evaluation standard of the competition includes 45% of singing, including 10% of vocal, 15% of technique and 20% of pitch, 45% of song introduction, including 15% of content, 10% of tone, 10% of pronunciation and 10% of grammar, and 10% of creativity, such as costume, performance and self-composition.
The awarding ceremony will take place on the last day of the competition, November 19th, where the top three individuals, the top three groups and three other groups with outstanding performance will receive library gift certificates as prizes.
To increase international students’ interest in learning Chinese language and motivate them to use the language, NCKU Chinese Language Center regularly organizes language activities, including speeches, storytelling, oral reading, drama performance, and singing contest, allowing international students to have the opportunities to express themselves in Chinese and also cultivate teamwork spirit.
