PLUMIER D’OR 2023
Since 1996, the DLF association (Défense de la langue française) has been offering colleges in France and abroad a competition designed to reward 4th grade students who have the best command of the French language. This competition takes place in each institution in January. Mr. Benmannana, French teacher at French International school Bahrain was responsible for registering and training the 7th grade classes that will participate.
The competition refers to the official program of the National Education, and has two parts:
1) Language exercises that will be scored out of 70, including exercises in syntax, spelling, vocabulary, and general culture: This part will be corrected by Mr. Benmannana and Mrs. Manchon; the 3 best copies will then be sent to Paris for the evaluation of the second part;
2) A written expression that will be evaluated by the jury of the Plumier, scored out of 30: this step allows the jury to select the 100 best copies from around the world. These students are all invited on Wednesday 11 May in the afternoon to receive their prize. The first 10 will be offered a few days embarkation aboard a ship of the French Navy.
Results of the 1st stage of the competition LE PLUMIER D’OR for the classes of 4th A and B of Mr. BENMANNANA RACHID and Mrs. MANCHON ODILE.
At the end of the first part of the competition; we have three winners who will represent the class of 7A:
FATMA GUEBLAOUI, KARIM DOGHMI and Mai MANCHON and 3 other winners for the 4th B: TAYMOUR ABDOUN, ADRIEN LEJARD and YASMEEN DEMASHKIEH.
In fact, they obtain the best results in the grammar, spelling and general culture tests of the class.
The copies of our six representatives are now submitted to the jury of the competition, in Paris, for the evaluation of the second part: written expression. Fingers crossed that our deserving candidates will be among the 60 successful winners.
See you in March during the week of the French language and the Francophonie for the results.
In the meantime, we reiterate our congratulations to the classes of 7th A and 7th B for honoring the challenge but also and especially the expression of our pride to Fatma, Karim, Mai, Taymour, Adrien, and Yasmeen to represent the high school of BAHRAIN in this competition.
