MOIS Cup 2022

１　What is MOIS Cup?

MOIS Cup is an English-Japanese debate tournament held at Saitama City Omiya International Secondary School. In this tournament, students can use the various skills they have acquired in class on a daily basis, such as the ability to speak, cooperate with their peers, and think critically, and interact with students from schools in and outside of the prefecture through debates. Whether it is your first time debating or you are not good at public speaking, you are more than welcome to join us. We look forward to your participation!

  1. Our group would like to discuss how AI relates to and supports our lives, and the impact it will have on our future, based on concrete evidence that anyone can agree on.
    Based on our research, we would also like to think about what we can do and what we should do now, and present our findings.
    The four of us will work together to make a presentation that only we can make.
