Spanish Debate Team
隆Bienvenidos al equipo de debate en espa帽ol de AHC!
The AHC Spanish Debate Team provides the opportunity to prepare students to improve and demonstrate their public speaking, reading, and writing skills. The ability examine various motions, to do research and use critical thinking skills are also developed and improved. The benefits of participating in a debate group are valuable to our AHC students, which will help to develop academic, professional and personal communication skills in Spanish. These tools will be beneficial to them to be able to engage in our community and lead by example.
AHC Spanish Debated Team first started in fall 2017. AHC debaters participating at the Spanish debate competition, called, Los Legados de Valladolid, hosted by Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo have earned first and second place in previous years. Every year in the Fall semester, the AHC Spanish Debate Team hosts the Equinos Chatos competition, where the Cal Poly and AHC teams have the opportunity to debate a motion and present it to the community.
