Entry Requirements/ Participants
This is a
course for students or recent
graduates of Law who need to
improve their English for study
and their future profession.
A good intermediate level of
English is required (Cambridge
First Certificate and above).
Participants should be able
to read English (newspapers,
textbooks, journals) relatively
easily and be able to understand
spoken English with few problems.
Course
The course, taught by experienced
and qualified English language
teachers, focuses on activating
language skills through cooperative
task-based work. Course participants
read legal material in order
to exchange information and
compare aspects of their own
legal systems. Other language
practice activities include
courtroom role-plays; problem
solving discussions; listening
to talks; formal letter writing
practice. There are opportunities
for more individual work, for
example in presenting a summary
of a legal case.
