I particularly like how it is expanding vocabulary and concepts for students who normally use Spanish primarily in home settings.

",Terms like “delegation,” “resources” and “refugees” sounded somehow unfamiliar in Spanish. The 14-year-old has always known Spanish as the comfy phrases exchanged at home, as the language of her mother and father…

…“Even in English, Model U.N. is challenging,” Hathaway-Castelan said. “In Spanish, it’s all new vocabulary.”
