The Victorian Japanese Language Speech Contest will be held as a live, face to face event. The aim of the event is to give students of Japanese as a second or heritage language the chance to present on a topic of their choice to an audience of peers and community members. A second aim is to provide an opportunity for networking between learners of Japanese, their supporters and the Japanese-speaking community in Victoria.
