| Objectives |
"Legal English" is an intensive language course that provides a foundation in legal terminology and language use for individuals whose first language is not English.
The program is intended for law students who wish to enhance their knowledge of Anglo-American legal terms and will develop the students' ability to recognize, understand, and use legal English in oral and written formats.
This course is not a review of English language structure. It is a highly participatory course that requires a good command of English to a certain extent in order for a student to participate successfully.
In all sections, participants will engage in a process of active learning that will improve skills in reading, writing, note taking, and oral communication
|
