Debate Festival: Building Strong Oratory Skills in QLS Learners<\/b><\/p>\n
The first QLS Pan-Hellenic Online Debate Festival is now a reality.\u00a0 Primarily as educators, QLS schools are aware of the overwhelming academic research supporting the many benefits that accrue as a result of having learners engage in debate in the classroom.\u00a0 However, having learners compete against their counterparts from QLS schools throughout Greece in formal debates was an idea that started over a year ago with the creation of the QLS Debate Guide for Teachers.\u00a0 Without doubt, this first QLS Online Debate Festival was a unique experience for the learners and an unqualified success for all QLS schools involved.\u00a0 The result:\u00a0 twelve debates at B1, B2 and C1\/C2 level,\u00a0 twenty-four teams, seventy-two participants, and hundreds of learners involved in researching\u00a0 and assisting the speakers prepare for or against the motion: \u201cThis House Believes Bullies are Victims, too.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
Congratulations to all the participants \u2013 the speakers, their support team, their teachers and panel of judges, among them representatives from the three largest publishers in Greece \u2013 Express, Burlington and MM.<\/p>\n

\n \n Success does not lie in “results” ONLY, <\/b>but in “efforts”. <\/b><\/i> From this side of the house we contend that everyone involved outdid himself and made QLS proud.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
