English for Law is a skills-based course designed specifically for students of law who are about to enter English-medium post-secondary levels and equips students with the specialist legal language they need to participate successfully within a law faculty. Extensive listening exercises come from law lectures, and all reading texts are taken from the same field of study. There is also a focus throughout on the key legal vocabulary that students will need.

    • Listening: how to understand and take effective notes on extended lectures, including how to follow the argument and identify the speaker’s point of view.

 

    • Speaking: how to participate effectively in a variety of realistic situations, from seminars to presentations, including how to develop an argument and use stance markers.

 

    • Reading: how to understand a wide range of texts, from academic textbooks to Internet articles, including how to analyze complex sentences and identify such things as the writer’s stance.

 

    • Writing: how to produce coherent and well-structured assignments, including such skills as paraphrasing and the use of the appropriate academic phrases.

 

    • Vocabulary: a wide range of activities to develop students’ knowledge and use of key vocabulary, both in the field of law and of academic study in general.

 

    • Vocabulary and Skills banks: a reference source to provide students with revision of the key words and phrases and skills presented in each unit.

 

    • Full transcripts of all listening exercises.
