Course description
The course, taught by experienced and qualified English language teachers, focuses on activating language skills through cooperative task-based work. Course participants read legal texts 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.
I have really enjoyed this course because of the teacher, the magnificent organisation and the high quality of the content.
