Oxford Education Group’s first Prize Giving Ceremony in Ukraine was held in Kharkiv Academy of Continuous Studies on April 8.

The day included masterclasses in English and Public Speaking followed by a demonstration debate by competition winners. Coached and mentored by Ben Allen, Director of the Oxford Education Group and renowned worldwide for his public speaking expertise, the winners wowed the assembled guests and educators with their audacious oratory.

Tamara Khristenko and Anastasia Potakova debated the motion “This House Would Punish Parents for the Crimes of their Children” preparing their excellent responses for and against the motion within a very limited timeframe.

Peter J. Cribley, Headmaster of the British Linguistics Academy, gave great practical advice how to improve the level of fluency in English even if your language skills are limited.
