English Elocution Competition
Elocution is the study of formal speaking in pronunciation, grammar, style, and tone as well as the idea and practice of effective speech and its forms. It provides a platform for honing communication skills and to foster critical thinking, confidence, and a deeper understanding of various subjects.
The Secondary section conducted the English Elocution Competition for Classes 5 to 10, on 21st July, 2023. This is done annually, in an attempt to promote English speaking skills, in terms of pronunciation, delivery, and voice modulation, and to develop English in its spoken form. This year too, several children gave in their names as participants, which resulted in a keenly contested audition round.
We began with an introduction to the judges, who were teachers from across the school. All the participants performed exceptionally well. The competition gave a lot of encouragement and confidence to the performers and to all the students present there.
The competition was divided into 2 categories:
Juniors - Class 5 to 7.
Seniors - Class 8 to 10
Each class had 2 representatives, in each category. The competition was presented by our Captains, who were confident and well-poised, as they conducted the proceedings of the competition.
On completion of the last speaker, the judges were invited on stage to speak a few words of advice for improvement and of encouragement. The young and gifted orators had won the hearts of the judges, who were overwhelmed by their oratory skills and preparation. This was followed by the announcing of the winners, amidst thunderous applauding. The confidence, expression and talent of the young ones made the event truly memorable.
