International Kangaroo Linguistics Competition (IKLC)

  International Kangaroo Linguistic Contest (IKLC) is organized in 4 languages: English, German, French and Spanish. The main architect behind IKLC is Dr. Boris Singer. IKLC turned out to be an effective contest for the students’ productive learning. The fact that English is now in arguably the main language of international communication, the IKLC of English is becoming increasingly a valuable contest. The structure of this contest is the same as that of International Kangaroo Mathematics Contest. IKLC addresses students in grades lll – Xll and requires both knowledge of the language and civilization, as well as inspiration, intuition and creativity.

Questions 1 – 8 are worth three points each, questions 9 – 16 four points each, questions 17 – 24 five points each. All students of grades 5 -12 will answer 30 questions. Questions 1 – 10 are worth three points each, questions 11 – 20 four points each, questions 21 – 30 five points each. The marking of the papers is computerized, ensuring impartial calculation of scores and determining of rankings.
