It is believed that pupils acquire the same self‐confidence and fluency in a foreign language as they derive from public speaking in English. Students have an opportunity to compete with their classmates in a contest which stimulates their interest in correct expression and enunciation and the superior ones have a chance to develop originality in composition.
