“Hungaricums in the World” — a career guidance team contest
Entitled “Hungaricums in the World”, our school organised an English language
career guidance team contest for students of 7th and 8th grades. The unique
feature of this three-round contest is that it encompasses all three fi elds of
expertise of our school, from trade to hospitality and tourism. Its aim is to
emphasize to students that professional English is not more diffi cult than the

general language, and at the same time we want to bring bilingual vocational
trainings closer to the students. In addition, we have the opportunity to add
a bit more knowledge to the professional classes at our open days to help
students learn more about diff erent crafts. The activity comprises three rounds:
Round 1 — creative teaser in which students were asked to choose
a hungaricum to be promoted abroad through an advertising material. So,
in the fi rst year we highlighted the marketing subject, as it is one of our
most popular professional subjects. In the second round, students receive
traditional language examination as well as more playful creative tasks, for
which we have selected texts that can all be linked to our school’s trades. In
the third round, we combined the programs that has been off ered for several

years as part of the Night of Trades with an English competition, thereby
ensuring a higher visibility for the top career guidance event.
In the live round, students were given creative and logical tasks, combining
the themes of all the trade groups with classic English and exam-like elements.
Thus, from role play to video comprehension, primary school students had
a cheerful evening in our school. Every school year, we refi ne the program
based on the experience from previous years.
