Model UN for English as a Second Language Learners

Model UN is used by thousands of delegates worldwide as a way of learning and improving their English language skills. However, typical conferences with a focus on competition and awards can be an intimidating and possibly unwelcoming environment for English as a Second Language (ESL) learners. At Best Delegate, we value diversity and strive to create a welcoming and inclusive learning environment for delegates of all backgrounds. Best Delegate welcomes delegates from over 40 countries to the Model United Nations Institute (MUNI) and even hosts the English Exchange program specifically for delegates who want to enhance their English language skills.

Our inaugural conference, BDMUNC, welcomed many delegates with the same goal in mind. In 4 fun-filled days of training sessions, expert briefings, and committee sessions, delegates are immersed in an environment that fosters growth and learning of English reading, listening, writing, and speaking skills.

Hailing from China, BDMUNC Secretary-General Angela Min Yi Hou joined Model UN to improve her own English language skills. In regards to how BDMUNC can support ESL delegates, she commented “BDMUNC offers a feedback-oriented and a very catered learning experience. Because we maintain a small student to staff ratio, the students get more attention, more encouragement, more specific, actionable feedback that will be able to help them break out of their shells and not be afraid to make mistakes.”

With the knowledge and experience acquired during their time at BDMUNC, ESL delegates will gain the confidence to actively participate in English-language MUN committees and increase their English proficiency!
