| Details | EFL/ESL students participating in a Model United Nations (MUN) must research a chosen nation, and devise and discuss possible solutions to real world problems in a simulated global forum using English as a medium of communication. Student and teacher feedback has shown this to be a motivating and valuable process in which EFL/ESL learners can develop greater language skills as well as cultural awareness and critical thinking ability. Situated in the field of Content/Language Integrated Instruction, this paper outlines how students might be prepared for participation in an MUN and what language outcomes can be expected. |
