Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The course is intended as a preparation for legal work in the English language, with a special emphasis on corporate and contract law, and will specifically help prepare students for the ILEC exam (Certificate in International Legal English), to be taken at the end of Cambridge Legal English (ILIEC) II, the second part of this course.The course helps develop competence and confidence in working in English by improving skills in the four language areas, reading, writing, speaking and listening. The textbook is Cambridge's "International Legal English", with additional material provided by the program leader, Susan Ambler Smith, an American-born Austrian lawyer and certified translator.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to take an informal examination based on the Cambridge ILEC model.The areas to be tested are described as:
Reading: semantic precision, grammatical and lexical knowledge, awareness of text structure and understanding gist, detail, opinion and information
Writing: concise expression, accuracy of language, organisation of content and relevance.
Listening: understanding gist, detail, function, opinion and inference; also retrieving specific information, identifying speakers and topics; recognising attitude.
Speaking: responding to questions and expanding on responses; sustaining a long turn in discussion by giving information, and expressing and justifying opinions; negotiating and collaborating; comparing and contrasting etc.The internal exam can also act as a trial run for those aspiring to qualify for the Cambridge certificate by sitting the official ILEC exam, held each May and November in Vienna. This, of course, is a valuable addition to your CV.
