Debate workshops

As part of the preparations for the VILO Debate Tournament, further workshops were held to prepare the tournament participants.

This time the audience focused on arguments – their types, levels of persuasion, ways of building arguments and methods of counter-argumentation. The interest in the workshops exceeded the wildest expectations of the organizers.

The workshops were conducted by our graduate – Polish Oxford Debate Champion 2017 – Szymon Turcza.

Congratulations and thank you.

Lecture by Dr. Michał Choiński from the Institute of English Philology of the Jagiellonian University

On November 30, 2017, High School No. 6 was visited by Dr. Michał Choiński, assistant professor at the Institute of English Philology at the Jagiellonian University, an expert in early American and English literature, rhetoric and literary translation.

First class bilingual students with English had the honor of listening to an extremely colorful lecture entitled “Speech and shine – on Shakespeare’s witches in Polish translations of Macbeth”, during which they heard about Elizabethan theater and the genesis of Macbeth. At the end of the lecture, a short workshop was held, during which the complexities of translating the first scene of Shakespeare’s tragedy were discussed.

On 30 November 2017 Dr Michał Choiński from the Institute of English Studies of the Jagiellonian University was the guest of VI LO. The students of English bilingual classes in our school had the opportunity to participate in a lecture entitled: “Speech and shining – on Shakespeare’s witches in Polish translations of Macbeth”. They could learn why Shakespeare’s works are worth becoming familiar with, what the importance of the Three Witches in ‘Macbeth’ is and how difficult it is to translate the verse “Fair is foul, and foul is fair” to Polish without losing its hidden meaning .
