On Monday, March 31, 2014 several LHS students of Russian had an opportunity to participate at the NJ Contest of Spoken Russian, held at Drew University in Madison, NJ. It was the seventeenth year of Linden High School’s participation! Our students won
1 gold, six silver, and four bronze medals. Our gold medalist is: Violet Sitko. The silver medalists are: Patrycja Suchocka, Julia Kheyman, Virmari Sanchez, Nicole Moreno, Krystian Gasior, Edgar Uchinas. Bronze medalists are: Naseem Evans, Marcos Montgomery, Daniel Kratzer, and Andres Jimenez.
The State Olympiada of Spoken Russian is a challenging, unique, and enjoyable event for all the students of varying levels, from 1 through 5, a Heritage Learner, and Native Speaker categories. The state contest follows the format of the International Olympiada:
Commission I: Speaking
Commission II: Reading/Discussion and Recitation
Commission III: Civilization (Geography, History, Literature, Music and Art)
The NJ Contest of Spoken Russian gives my students opportunities to:
- gain confidence in their ability to speak Russian
demonstrate familiarity with Russian geography, history, literature, - art, and music
- be recognized for the efforts to master such a challenging language
- interact with students from other NJ high schools that offer Russian (Sparta, Marlboro, North Bergen, and Elizabeth Bruriah School)
Throughout the years we have been able to establish an excellent partnership with many NJ high schools. For the excellent performance of our students we have gained trust and respect from national institutions and organizations, such as ACTR and AATSEEL. Our program of the Russian Language has been also recognized by many American universities. Their doors are open for the students who plan to pursue their career in the field of the Russian Language and Literature. Because of our longtime relationship with Drew University and our achievements, prof.Carol Ueland, the head of the Russian Language Program, is inviting our students to continue studying the language under her supervision.
Congratulations to all the participants!
