On November 20th, eight high schools joined UConn for the annual French Immersion Day and Quiz Bowl, bringing together about 100 student participants from across Connecticut. The day was filled with interactive language activities, cultural experiences, and spirited competition during the afternoon Quiz Bowl.

 

This year’s winners were:

First Place: Wilton High School

Second Place: Lewis S. Mills High School
Third Place: Bristol Eastern High School

 

One UConn French Instructor summed up the spirit of the event: “Merci, everyone, for another fun, memorable, and experience-packed day for our students. I always look forward to this event because I love hearing my students talk afterward about their immersive learning experiences and getting a ‘taste’ of what lies beyond high school.” The UConn Faculty Coordinator praised the Teaching Assistants for their creativity and dedication, noting that they planned and delivered outstanding lesson plans that made the day engaging and educational for all.
