COMPETITIONS
Coming soon for next term: GCHQ National Language Competition
GCHQ will be launching its National Language Competition (NLC) on November 7th 2022. The online competition will be targeted at Year 9s and aims to inspire language learning by making languages fun; the end goal being to encourage language uptake at GCSE.A school may submit as many teams of four as they wish and, in these teams, students will tackle a range of language-related puzzles, ranging from easy to difficult and from European languages to rarer ones and even made-up languages. Over a period of five days, they will capture flags to earn points on their language journey which will total up at the end of the week and affect their ranking on a national leaderboard.
Teachers will be invited to register teams for the NLC at the beginning of September through to October and, during the competition itself, teachers will be able to see how their teams are doing via a scoreboard on the platform. The overall winning team will be the team at the end of the 5 days with the most points collected from puzzles and a trophy will be presented by GCHQ Director, Sir Jeremy Fleming, to this team in GCHQ’s building in Cheltenham at the beginning of December.
Schools/teachers who are interested in taking part in the competition, should email: NLC@gchq.gov.uk
Further comms about how to sign up for the competition will be sent out to schools at the beginning of September.
