DEBATE COMPETITION IN ENGLISH
THE IES MAYORAZGO DEBATE TEAM IN ENGLISH (JORGE, RAMÓN, MAR, NICO R. and LILO, all in 4º ESO) TOOK PART IN THE PROVINCE ROUNDS HELD ON 27th MARCH AT ESCUELA OFICIAL DE IDIOMAS DE MÁLAGA.
It was a long day for the five members of the team who did a great job debating in three different rounds at the province phase held at EOI de Málaga. The opponent teams were all made up of Bachillerato students from I.E.S. María Zambrano (Torre del Mar), I.E.S Camilo José Cela (Campillos) and CDP Gamarra (Málaga). Our team was the only one with ESO students and they proved they can debate and refute with the same maturity as speakers in higher levels. After each round, the members of the jury provided feedback on both team’s speeches, which contributed to a better understanding of what is a debate. Our team also had the chance to chat and share their views with the other teams during the mid-morning and lunch breaks in a non-competitive and more relaxing atmosphere, so the whole experience was a victory in itself.
