Uni is about learning, not teaching – so don’t think of an online class as second-best. In ILE, you will master both the course content and develop your learning and communication skills. You will work in a “flipped * classroom”, (* If you don't understand what that means, look it up), and to make sure there's plenty of inter-action you will have various partners for class exercises - plus regular small group discussions.
In fact, many students really enjoy their course being online, and, overall, you’ll probably remember 10x more than the 5% taken away from a traditional lecture. The course will help you to study and work more confidently in English in a legal context by improving skills in the four language areas - reading and writing, speaking and listening (Level C1).
It is based around Cambridge University’s successful international legal English syllabus, but with additional material from online sources such as the Guardian newspaper law pages, law reports, professional websites etc. Video and audio are extensively used.
Topics covered in Pt 2 ILE include: sale of goods, employment, real and intellectual property, and competition law. However, it should be emphasised that this is not a course in substantive law - simply that these subject areas provide a realistic context for language acquisition.
Classes will be interactive through Moodle and Zoom so you can apply the knowledge that you have learned in preparation; for example, many classes begin with small group discussions of a legal issue. Weekly preparation, lasting 90 mins, is an integral part of the course. Programme leader is David Goulden, a Cambridge-qualified barrister, and an experienced language trainer.You do not have to have completed ILE 1 to register for ILE 2.
