With the fourth of the “Modafen Traditional Second Foreign Languages Book Reading Contest”, our students showed their tendency to learn different languages and their desire to learn, making it difficult for the jury to decide with their progress and command of the language in a short time.

This year’s winners of the Modafen Traditional Second Foreign Languages Book Reading Contest were

• 7^th grade student Sarp Bayraktar (#1478) in Spanish,
• 7^th grade student Aşha Açin Kanbolat (#2010) in German,
• 7^th grade student Rural Nehir Özpınar (#2019) in English,
• 7^th grade student Yasmin Bayer (#2360) in English

Students who were evaluated based on accent, fluent reading and self-confidence criteria competed in four languages. The competition was held in Spanish, German, Russian and French, which are among the second foreign languages. During the contest, our students read a passage from the books they read in their second foreign language throughout the summer and a surprise text given to them from a work they never knew.

Three students from each foreign language participated in the two-part competition. In the jury seat, there was a teacher of every language, another teacher who mastered the language and a 10th grade student who mastered that language.

Our jury members, which listed below, determined our students who ranked in the top with their votes.

• In Spanish, teachers Milena CAIAFFA and Carolina BAUTISTA, and student member Yavuz ASLAN from 10/C
• In German, teachers Banu ÖZDEMİR and Selda KASTELLI, and student member Haydar Kerem GÜLER from 10/C
• In Russian, teachers Olena ÇETİN and Natalya ÖZGÜL, and student member Mert Can KAYA from 10/B
• In French, teachers Gizem ADAL YAVUZ and Özgün GÜNEY, and student member Neriman Dora BAYKAL from 10/B

As the Modafen Family, we congratulate all our students who participated in the competition and wish their reading habits to continue.
