Integrating a Conference Simulation into an ESL Class

Gene B. Halleck

Carol Lynn Moder

Rebecca Damron

Oklahoma State University

This article describes how the authors integrated a semester-long simulation of an academic conference into a composition class for international graduate students at Oklahoma State University. It outlines the various phases of the simulation and shows how each phase was incorporated into the regular activities of the class. It describes the committees that were formed to accomplish the tasks necessary to carry out the simulation and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating this type of activity into the curriculum. After attending the conference and examining responses of students who participated in the simulation, the authors conclude that it was a worthwhile activity and one that is consistent with the goals of the course.

Key Words: attitude • ESL • motivation • professional training • simulations
