Round 1: Spelling Bee

The Spelling Bee competition showcases participants' skill with words. It's not just about memorising a dictionary; it's about showing quick thinking and language finesse. Participants handle complex words, demonstrating their understanding of sounds, word origins, and spelling.

Round 2: Grammar Test

After the Spelling Bee comes the Grammar Test, a challenging arena for grammar skills. They focus on syntax, punctuation, and structure to create strong sentences. They analyse sentences, navigate through grammatical challenges, and demonstrate their ability to create clear and effective language. This round highlights how important grammar is in accurately communicating ideas.

Round 3: Storytelling

In the third round, Storytelling takes centre stage in the competition. Contestants move beyond technicalities to explore creativity. They create captivating and inspiring tales, using their storytelling skills to transport the audience to imaginative worlds and showcase their linguistic creativity.

Who Can Participate?

The doors to English Battle swing open to students from all disciplines, welcoming individuals eager to refine their English language skills. Regardless of their academic background, all aspiring wordsmiths are invited to immerse themselves in this linguistic arena and emerge as linguistic champions.

The English Battle by Presidency University's English Language Club goes beyond just a language competition. It's a journey of exploring language and growing personally. It helps students use language to express ideas, influence opinions, and shape stories, shaping tomorrow's communicators and leaders.
