- Dal 18 al 22 agosto 2008
- presso l'università di Edimburgo si terrà ancora una volta il corso di Teaching English for Law, tenuto da Gillian Brown, autore del testo Professional English in use - LAW.
- Durata: 1 week (20 hours)
- Costo: £312
- Livello richiesto per accedere: C2 CEF
- The course aims to provide an introduction to the teaching of English for Law. It is not an introduction to English law! The relationship between law and language is peculiarly complex: The course will focus on how to design a course; on approaches to teaching which draw on the subject knowledge of informants (e.g. the participants themselves or legal experts); and how to find and use other resources. Course objectives: Participants will:- develop their understanding of the teaching of Legal English vocabulary and appropriate language skills for students of law and law professionals- identify and evaluate resources to support their teaching contexts. Course content: The course will include: identifying and teaching appropriate language skills; relevant context analysis; teaching legal vocabulary; the role and knowledge of the legal English teacher; using authentic sources; web-based resources and published materials; assessment (eg ILEC).
- Approach: The course is practically oriented using workshops and a combination of group and individual tasks to explore learning contexts, to look at samples of legal English discourse, and to examine teaching methodologies and resources appropriate to the teaching of English for Law. There will be opportunities for teachers to discuss their particular area of interest. The course aims to provide participants with ideas for continuing their professional development in the area of teaching English for Law beyond the course.
