Chinese teacher here at the Junior High School Xiaohua Chen talked about why the AFLTA World Language Competition is so important.  “The event provides a platform for students to assess and challenge themselves with their language skills. It encourages the students to learn new things. It’s a great event where students get to meet and connect with other language speakers from different high schools in Arkansas. Through interaction and friendships with others, students can develop their social skills. Besides language skills, the competition also provides a platform for students to show off their talents in arts and music.Winning the competition is a way for the students to build their resumes for college, scholarship, and job applications.”
