| 研究実績の概要 |
To rectify this gap in empirically grounded materials and methods for the teaching of diplomatic writing, researchers Nishide, Tatsuki and Hollenback successfully collected data from three Model United Nations conferences. The first was a Model United Nations conference for Japanese and non-Japanese University students synchronously and asynchronously online over 5-weeks, the Japan University Model United Nations (JUEMUN 2020). The data was from the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), a functional Commission of the Economic and Social Council(ECOSOC), see http://juemun.org . We were also successful in hosting and collecting resolutions data of Japanese and non Japanese non-native speakers of English at IMUNO 2020 (International Model United Nations Online) for 3-days simulating one Security Council (SC) meeting. The third conference was National Model United Nations New York New York 2021 for four days and we have data from the SC, ECOSOC and General Assembly (GA) meetings (http://nmun.org). United Nations resolutions in the three United Nations bodies GA, SC, and ECOSOC on the same agendas or issues have been accessed. We are now using a genre approach to illustrate the deficit in (recurrent grammar and phraseological patterns, and function and purpose of the content) student generated Model United Nations resolutions.

理由
We are on our schedule even with the COVID-19 pandemic to collect data as JUEMUN 2020, and the National Model United Nations (NMUN) New York 2021 were held online. Nishide, Hollenback and Tatsuki also organized a IMUNO (International Model United Nations Online)conference when NMUN Japan 2020 in Kobe was cancelled in May due to the pandemic. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic almost all of the international conferences were cancelled that we planned to attend. They were not held online.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
In our third year of the project we (Nishide, Tatsuki & Hollenback) will continue to analyze data collected from the previous year and continue our data collection at the Japan University English Model United Nations (JUEMUN) conference and two National Model United Nation's conferences in Czech Republic , New York. We will begin to develop, pilot and evaluate diplomatic writing training materials to write resolutions. We will analyze diplomatic writing for United Nations and Model United Nations resolutions for three United Nations main bodies (General Assembly, Security Council, and Economic and Social Council) using both quantitative and qualitative analysis based on systemic functional grammar, a corpus linguistics approach supported by Sketch Engine, Antconc 2.0 software, Genre and critical discourse analysis to address how diplomatic writing features presented, justified and how actions are recommended in United Nations General Assembly, Security Council, and Economic and Social Council resolutions though examining recurrent grammar and phraseological patterns, and function and purpose of the content. In addition, we plan to present our findings at conferences in the UK, Italy, Japan,and the USA.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
The funding will be used to: Continue to collect data at Model United Nations conferences in Asia, Europe and North America. The data will be collected at conferences and through interviews with diplomats and United Nations Secretariat members on diplomatic writing for 3 bodies including Security Council, Economic and Social Council and the General Assembly. We will be sharing our findings in conferences.
