Abstract
The article describes a simulation that was used in an English as a second language class designed for Southeast Asian government officials enrolled in an English language and Canadian cultural immersion program. The two authors are teachers fromCanada who were seconded by the Regional English Language Centre in Singapore to teach in the 3-month, intensive English for International Communication Program. The teachers felt that simulations would enable students to integrate language and communication skills with the knowledge that they had gained concerning cultural aspects of Canadian society. This article describes a courtroom simulation and provides information concerning the preparations for the activity, the simulation itself, and the students’ responses to and perceptions of the activity. A questionnaire was circulated after the simulation, and the results obtained are also discussed. The authors conclude that simulations are a valuable and stimulating language learning tool.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
