Participantes Todos los alumnos Amco de cualquier curso de primaria. Categorías Habrá 2 categorías dependiendo del perfil del alumnado y programas Amco cursados en el nivel presentado al concurso: -‐ Categoría 1: Non Bilingual Schools -‐ alumnos de colegios que cursen cualquiera de los programas Amco Gear Up, Rocket 3, Rocket 5 sin materias, es decir, sin las áreas CLIL (sin Visual Arts ni Natural Science). -‐ Categoría 2: Bilingual Schools -‐ alumnos de colegios que cursen los programas Amco Gear Up, Rocket 3 o Rocket 5 con materias en inglés (Visual Arts y/o Natural Science) y/o colegios que estén acreditados para la enseñanza bilingüe por su comunidad autonóma correspondiente a dichos niveles. En cada categoría se podrá participar de acuerdo con los siguientes grupos: -‐ Group 1: 1st and 2nd graders -‐ Group 2: 3rd and 4th graders -‐ Group 3: 5th and 6th graders Palabras Las palabras usadas durante el concurso serán previamente seleccionadas de las listas de palabras de uso común y de la sección de Pronunciation Lab/Spelling de todos los programas de primaria. En la categoria 2 (Bilingual Schools) se añadirán las palabras de materias, Visual Arts y/o Natural Science (ver anexos al final de las bases): Número de palabras de Categoría 1: Número de palabras de Categoría 2: o 1st and 2nd graders: 125 palabras o 1st and 2nd graders: 150 palabras o 3rd and 4th graders: 150 palabras o 3rd and 4th graders: 200 palabras o 5th and 6th graders: 175 palabras o 5th and 6th graders: 250 palabras En los anexos con los listados de palabras, se encuentran las definiciones de cada una de las palabras.

Una vez que el concursante ha empezado a deletrear la palabra ya no puede pedir ni definición ni frase. Para la final nacional, la organización, en exclusiva, contará con un listado de palabras extras numeradas para cada categoría y grupo, del que se hará uso en caso de que los alumnos no cometan error en el deletreo de las palabras, se prolonguen en exceso el número de rondas de deletreo de palabras por grupo, o, si por falta de tiempo, así lo estipulara el jurado. Cada palabra de este listado de palabras extras también contará con la definición de la palabra o una frase en la que dicha palabra se use en contexto, para que, si el concursante tiene duda sobre cómo se deletrea, poder pedir la definición o frase. Para la final escolar en cada caso, la organización no facilitará ningún listado de palabras extras, pero aconsejamos que, siguiendo el criterio de los profesores del centro, se tengan preparadas algunas de ellas que permitan la elección del ganador en Fase Escolar en caso de multiplicarse las rondas. Fases del concurso: El concurso se desarrollará en dos fases: -‐ Fase escolar. Los alumnos competirán con otros alumnos de su centro pertenecientes al mismo Grupo de concurso. Para que el centro participe en la Fase final nacional deberá estar finalizada su fase escolar a fecha de 18 de marzo de 2016. -‐ Fase nacional. Los alumnos ganadores de cada colegio competirán con los alumnos finalistas de los diferentes colegios de toda España. La final nacional tendrá lugar durante el fin de semana del 17 de abril de 2016 en Madrid en fecha y dirección exacta a determinar por cuestiones de aforo y centros participantes que será comunicada a los colegios. Elección de las palabras Para asegurar que la elección de las palabras sea totalmente imparcial, se realizará del modo siguiente: Habrá una bolsa por cada categoría y grupo, es decir, habrá hasta 6 bolsas. En ella habrá tantas tarjetas cómo número de palabras hay en la lista correspondiente; las tarjetas estarán numeradas del 1 al 125, al 150, al 175, al 200 o al 250, dependiendo de la categoría y del grupo. Por ejemplo, la Categoría 1 Grupo 3 tendrá 175 tarjetas, numeradas del 1 al 175. En la fase individual, los participantes sacarán 5 tarjetas y las entregarán a la persona que lee las palabras; esta persona leerá al participante las palabras del listado correspondientes a los números extraídos de la bolsa. En la fase grupal, los participantes elegirán cada uno una tarjeta que determinará el orden de participación. El número más pequeño empezará primero y el más alto será el último. Una mano inocente elegida de manera imparcial extraerá para cada alumno participante la tarjeta numerada que corresponde a la palabra que tendrá que deletrear. Bajo ningún concepto, los participantes pueden ver las palabras escritas mientras dura el concurso. Sólo la persona que lee las palabras dispondrá del listado correspondiente a la categoría y grupo del que se está realizado el concurso. Bases Concurso Amco Spelling Bee

Desarrollo del concurso en Fase Escolar El concurso consta de dos niveles. Nivel individual (clasificación del alumno) En este nivel, el concursante elegirá 5 tarjetas numeradas. Cada tarjeta tiene asignado un número correspondiente a una palabra del listado anexo, y las entregará a la persona que las leerá del listado de palabras. Cada participante tendrá que deletrear correctamente 5 palabras y tendrá un máximo de un minuto para deletrear cada palabra. El participante, tras oír la palabra, tendrá que pronunciar la palabra, deletrearla y volver a pronunciarla; ningún participante será eliminado por pronunciar mal la palabra. El tiempo comenzará a contar desde el momento en que la persona encargada diga por primera vez la palabra y acabará cuando el participante diga la palabra, tras haberla deletreado. Recordarles que, antes de proceder al deletreo, si un participante tiene duda sobre cómo se deletrea alguna palabra puede pedir: 1. la definición de la palabra o 2. una frase en la que la palabra se use en contexto. El concursante solo puede usar una vez la opción 1 o la 2 en cada palabra. Al comenzar a deletrear, el concursante podrá parar y comenzar de nuevo, deletreando la palabra desde el comienzo; no obstante, al volver a deletrearla, no podrá haber cambio de letras o de su secuencia con respecto a lo que deletreó la primera vez. Para reiniciar su deletreo, el participante debe indicar que lo hará, repitiendo de nuevo la palabra completa antes de deletrearla. Si el participante está deletreando un término compuesto de dos o más palabras, deberá indicar en inglés los espacios entre las mismas (space o hyphen). En el caso de que la palabra a deletrear incluyera una apóstrofe el concursante deberá indicar en inglés apostrophy. Las palabras con dos consonantes o dos vocales puede deletrearse como double letter o letter letter. Si el concursante deletrea correctamente estas cinco palabras pasará al nivel grupal. Nivel grupal En este nivel, en primer lugar, cada participante elegirá una tarjeta que determinará el orden de participación entre los concursantes que hayan pasado a la fase grupal. El concursante que seleccione la tarjeta con el número 1 será el primero en deletrear, siendo el de mayor número el último en participar. Una mano inocente elegida de manera imparcial extraerá para cada alumno participante la tarjeta numerada que corresponde a la palabra que tendrá que deletrear. Las tarjetas numeradas deben colocarse todas en una bolsa y removerlas previamente. Los participantes oirán la primera palabra; el concursante, al que le tocó participar en primer lugar pronunciará la palabra, la deletreará y la volverá a pronunciar. El segundo participante oirá la segunda palabra, la pronunciará, la deletreará y la volverá a pronunciar y así hasta que todos los participantes hayan deletreado una palabra.

Las palabras con dos consonantes o dos vocales puede deletrearse como double letter o letter letter. El deletreo incorrecto de una palabra eliminará al concursante del certamen; una vez eliminado, el concursante bajará del escenario. En estos casos, el siguiente alumno por orden de participación deletreará la misma palabra que el anterior concursante falló. Si se acabaran las palabras de las listas de palabras anexas según cada categoría y ciclo, la mano inocente volverá a meter todas las tarjetas numeradas en la bolsa, pudiendo entonces repetirse las palabras a deletrear. El proceso se repetirá hasta que sólo quede un concursante que será el GANADOR en su categoría y grupo (group 1, group 2, group 3). En la final nacional, pasadas tres rondas de deletreo entre los alumnos de cada categoría y grupo, por falta de tiempo o ausencia de errores en el deletreo de las palabras, la organización, previo aviso a los concursantes, haría uso de un listado de palabras extras, numerada para cada categoría y grupo. Todas estas palabras serían extraídas de los materiales correspondientes a cada categoría y grupo. Estas palabras se elegirán siguiendo las mismas normas que para la elección de las palabras de los listados anexos. Para la final escolar en cada caso, la organización no facilitará ningún listado de palabras extras, pero aconsejamos que, siguiendo el criterio de los profesores del centro, se tengan preparadas algunas de ellas que permitan la elección del ganador en Fase Escolar en caso de multiplicarse las rondas.
