Le Grand Concours
National French contest
Thursday March 4
Le Grand Concours is an annual competition sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of French.
Students of French in grades 1-12, in all 50 states and abroad, compete against each other for prizes. Grades 1-6 participate in the FLES Contest. Grades 7-12 in the Secondary Contest.
Students take a written test and compete against students with similar educational background for prizes including certificates, medals, books, dvds, trips, and scholarships.
Students enter via their French teacher. All students are eligible -- home school parents or private tutors can request information on participation from the nearest Chapter Administrator. Students of non-AATF members are also welcome to participate.
Teachers contact local Chapter Contest Administrator for information on local deadlines and entry fees.
Past copies of the Contest are available for purchase for review and practice purposes. Audio scripts and scoring keys for past years are also available. Sample letter which can be personalized and sent home with students (permission slip/parent information letter) is available.
