• What macro categories from the Toolkit do you already use in your teaching or current projects?

•Identify which macrocategories are well represented in your teaching / assessment and which ones are less explored or missing.

•Share examples of the UN-specific texts and/or UN related communicative situations you use in your classes.

Step 3: Enrichment (15 mins.)

•Brainstorm with colleagues and identify what samples you could share to enrich the Toolkit.

• _{Take into consideration texts you already use in your classes and / or assessment but also authentic text that you have come across and might be relevant as samples.}  

🎯 The final goal is to identify content that could enrich the existing collection of text samples.

Summarize your group’s discussion on this Padlet board under the corresponding section.

You can share as well one key takeaway about incorporating UN-specific text types and communicative situations in your teaching.

authentic texts: official UN sites

emails, letters

job-related documents

reports

based on the students needs and the level

UN I: emails and instructions, difficult because authentic documents are complicate

In case of lack of documents: translation from another language

UN II: presentations, emails

UN III: not the moment

- adding for each category examples of authentic documents that could be used (more specific than the text types in the UNLF);

- providing a list of sources where to find authentic documents aligned with the UNLF text types (links to UN media, etc.)

- being inclusive in the collection of documents to keep a balanced geographical distribution

- use texts from the UNLF samples: https://languages.un.org/en/un-language-standards/get-know-your-un-level
