In an effort to boost the English reading and speaking skills of service members, the ROCAF Headquarters organized the 2024 English Recitation Competition at Zhongyong Base on September 21. The competition was presided over by ROCAF Vice Chief Lt. Gen. Tsao, and showcased the superb oratory skills of its competitors. Lt. Gen. Tsao encouraged all participants to seize this opportunity to hone their skills and urged them to commit to learning and elevating their language skills.
After intense preliminary rounds, 26 representatives were selected to participate in the finals at the ROCAF Headquarters. These contestants selected 10 random topics and were judged based on their enunciation, tone, body language, and timing, with the final winner decided by Hsu Yong-hui and 4 other teachers.
Driven by the need for various collaborations and international exchanges, Lt. Gen. Tsao noted that the ROCAF had long emphasized the importance of creating a bilingual environment as well as language training. Lt. Gen. Tsao hoped that its service members would take advantage of the many opportunities and resources in the military to further their language skills, empowering them to become capable and willing English communicators.
