Along with the times, using English is no longer an option but has become a necessity. The emergence of various technologies, cultural exchanges, also the advanced of global market make English play a very important role. We must be able to use English anywhere on many occasions and needed to be applied from the center of education, that is school.
Not just for speaking, English is also needed to move people through speech. To be able making the great speech, the skills need to be honed from an early age. Students need to be frequently trained for public speaking, using English of course. This will contribute to build their confidence as well as improve their English speaking skills. So later in the future, they could become nation’s successors who will represent Indonesia to speak for the world.
That become the background for Student Council of Permata Bangsa Senior High School to hold the English Speech Contest for High School. This speech contest will be held for high school students at West Java Province area. With this event, we hope that students’ skills in english could be honed even better. In addition, we also hope that this event could nourish the students’ courage and confidence in public speaking.
