ILS held a competition for international students called “Russia through our Eyes”. Students in grades 5-11 tested their skills at listening, reading and writing.
The competition had two stages: in the first stage, students did lexical/grammatical tests covering cases, verb conjugations and punctuation rules. The first stage also included listening, during which the students tried to understand a text in Russian read aloud, and speaking situations, such as “Getting acquainted” and “Discussing people’s appearance”. The second stage was a reading competition.
