May 7, 1999- RIDER HOSTS 21st HIGH SCHOOL FOREIGN LANGUAGE FORENSIC TOURNAMENT
LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ -- More than 1,000 students representing 63 high schools from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware will attend the 21st-annual Foreign Language Forensic Tournament at Rider University on Wednesday, May 12, 1999.
Sponsored by Rider's department of foreign languages and literatures, the tournament features competition throughout the day in Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Russian on both the intermediate and advanced levels. More than 37,000 students have participated in the event since its inception in 1979.
Competition includes recitation of original or published works, performance of original skits, dramatic interpretation, and extemporaneous speaking. The popular "college bowl" competition will also be held in each language.
Some 150 high school teachers accompanying their students will serve as judges along with members of Rider's foreign languages faculty.
Registration for the tournament will be held from 8 to 9 a.m. in Alumni Gymnasium, immediately followed by the opening reception.
The first session of competition will be from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. in classroom buildings throughout Rider's Lawrenceville campus. The second session will run from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m, followed by a teachers' luncheon in Daly Dining Hall and a students' picnic on the Campus Green outside the Student Center.
The closing session for presentation of awards to individual winners and the three schools with the most events won will begin at 2 p.m. in Alumni Gymnasium.
When not competing, students may take advantage of the University's recreational facilities, including tennis courts, outdoor basketball courts, pool, and fitness course. The Art Gallery and University Store will also be open, and foreign language films will be shown throughout the day.
