第九届“外研社杯”全国英语辩论赛赛事速递

赛事改革

同往届比赛相比，本届比赛将进行较大的改革：
   1. 2005年暂时取消地区赛，所有参赛队直接到北京参加全国比赛；
   2. 加大奖励力度，增加出国名额：
   一等奖（3名，含指导老师）：赴英国牛津参加esu international relations conference
   二等奖（3名，含指导老师）：赴英国剑桥短期考察学习
   三等奖（6名，含指导老师）：亚洲大专英语辩论赛
   最佳辩手（8名，无指导老师）：赴新加坡短期考察学习
   3. 各校限报一支队伍参赛，曾派两支以上队伍参加2004年11月份培训及热身赛的学校允许派两支队伍参赛，但只有一支队伍有资格出线进入前十六名；
   4. 采用议会制比赛形式（由于电视转播的原因，半决赛和决赛比赛形式是否采用传统比赛形式，以主办方通知为准），所有参赛队伍指导老师都将在比赛中担当评委；
   5. 参赛资格：辩手必须是在中国大专院校全日制就读的中国籍在校本科学生（曾入围“cctv杯”全国英语演讲大赛半决赛的选手以及参加过往届“外研社杯”全国英语辩论赛的选手不可参赛）。

培训专家  
 
从第七届比赛开始，辩论赛采用了国际通行的议会制辩论形式。虽然过去两年我们在正式比赛的前一天都进行培训，但由于时间仓促，培训内容单薄，选手也没有足够的时间进行消化吸收和模拟训练。因此，我们于2004年11月17日至22日期间邀请美国的“国际辩论教育协会”（International Debating Education Association）主席和新加坡的“新加坡大学辩论协会”（Singapore Association for Inter-varcity Debating）主席率领有关专家在北京举办“第九届外研社杯全国英语辩论赛赛前培训及热身赛”。
