The Japan Foundation, London is excited to announce a new event: The Japanese Language Championship for Young Learners UK – also known as… JaLaChamp!
JaLaChamp is a contest for primary and secondary school students studying Japanese, and consists of two categories:
- Speech category
- Video category, where students are asked to create an original video
We want to encourage students to show us their creativity in full and have fun making videos and writing speeches using their Japanese!
You can find out all about the contest at The Japan Foundation, London website.
The contest is open to both students studying Japanese at school and outside of school. Additionally, students for whom Japanese is a home or family language (rather than studied as a foreign language) can apply to the video category.
Applications from individuals and from groups are welcome in the Video Category.
Detailed information on eligibility, as well as more information, can be found here in the JaLaChamp guidelines document.
