The “FLTRP Cup” English Public Speaking Contest is co-organized by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press (FLTRP), National Foreign Languages Teaching Advisory Board under the Ministry of Education, National Advisory Board on Teaching English Language to Majors in Higher Education under the Ministry of Education, and National Research Centre for Foreign Language Education. It has gained great attention and credit both at home and abroad. Over the years it has been regarded as the most prestigious English public speaking competition with the highest standards in China, attracting the largest number of participants from across the whole country.

This contest not only provided a platform for undergraduates to showcase their English proficiency, communication skills and critical thinking, but also built a communicative platform for teachers and students from different universities. Stages such as these are a great opportunity for not only students, but teachers to also learn from each other. After the contest, Zheng Ruiqi said that this contest allowed him to practice his public speaking skills and broaden his horizons. He saw the gap between himself and the other, higher-placing contestants, and set a goal to make further efforts for his English-language skills.
