This presentation concerns a four-skills course taught at two Japanese universities in which EFL students research topics in discussion at the UN and role-play representing a UN member state. The course has been structured around CLIL-based SDG textbooks and has built upon them by a) introducing contemporary issues, b) allowing students to discuss and do short speeches in the classroom, and c) using Google Classroom as a hub through which students upload work before and after they do output-based activities in the classroom. Since 2020, it has evolved into a course with classroom and homework activities that conclude with speeches and written classroom reflections. Responses from over 80 students in July 2023 indicate that developments have been sustained, but the presenter seeks fresh sustenance to maximize future learner benefits from the course.
