Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
Our research is progressing rather smoothly with the extension of the grant due to the COVID pandemic. We are now able to attend Model United Nations conferences in person. We hosted the JUEMUN conference in July 2023 after hosting NMUN Japan 2022 so we had to devote time to conference organization in addition to researching. Without the conferences though there would be less data for the research.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
This year we will complete data analysis, continue to present at conferences and do out best to publish our research results and have our findings applied to classroom practice of teaching diplomatic writing.
