Academic Contests
The MLCCC Weekend School holds several academic contests each year to promote students'
interest in Chinese language learning by challenging them to realize their full
Chinese language potential.
MLCCC Chinese Essay Contest
MLCCC hosts a Chinese Essay Contest every spring in order to further encourage the
students to develop their Chinese writing skills. The contest is open to students
in grades 5 and above, who are asked to write an essay based on a given topic. The
essays are graded by a panel consisting primarily of teachers. The grading is based
on the Pennsylvania Writing Assessment Rubric, which evaluates five areas: Focus,
Content, Organization, Style, and Conventions.
All participants receive a certificate and a small prize. The top 3 essayists are
awarded $20, $15 and $10 gift cards during the End of School Year Assembly.
MLCCC Chinese Character Recognition Contest
The MLCCC Chinese Character Recognition Contest will be annually. It is open to
all CHL Chinese Grade 2 students and above. A reward will be presented to each of
the winners of the contests.
