We are pleased to inform you that the Spelling Bee registrations will be extended until the last day of January.
In order to expand its outreach to classroom students learning English as a foreign language (the ultimate beneficiaries of MEXTESOL’s mission), MEXTESOL organizes an annual national Spelling Bee, in conjunction with Merriam-Webster.
The MEXTESOL National Spelling Bee promotes spelling and vocabulary study for learners studying English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in primary and secondary schools in Mexico.
There will be two separate spelling bees on the same day: one for primary children (5th and 6th grades) and one for secondary school students (first and second year). There will be a maximum of 50 students in each contest.
The MEXTESOL National Spelling Bee 2020 will take place on Saturday, April 25th, 2020 in Universidad Pablo Guardado Chávez, Libramiento Nte. Ote. 3450, Amp las Palmas, 29040, Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas
