Languages Week Poster Competition 2022

NZALT is again running a poster competition for students in Years 7 - 8 and Years 9 - 10. This competition is only open to students whose teachers are NZALT members. 
The competition has been very popular in previous years with junior students and is a superb activity for Languages Week as well as an opportunity for teachers to gather material to use in advertising the benefits of learning a language.
Due to the popularity of the competition, we are asking you to choose your three best entries in each category and either email them or send them to the NZALT Secretary, Jo Hawes.
Please note that all entries must be received by Friday 24 June.
