Prezentarea cursului/Rezumatul cursului: This practical English course is designed as an ESP course (English for Specific Purposes) and its main purpose is to make students familiar with the basic specialized vocabulary necessary in the law field. The practical handbook used during the seminars - A Practical English Handbook for Law Students – is divided into 7 Units (in Part I), each consisting of specialized texts, vocabulary exercises (multiple choice, matching, derivational exercises) and of grammar exercises (multiple choice, gap filling, etc.). The grammatical elements that are covered in this first year of study are: verbal tenses, modal verbs, passive voice, prepositions and the noun. In their study, students need to use Dictionaries of Law (English-Romanian and Romanian-English). Starting form the texts and the vocabulary exercises, students will be encouraged to use the new juridical terminology in their own contexts, to initiate conversations on a certain topic and even have debates on different juridical matters. Comparing the British and American legal systems with the Romanian one is a stimulating topic for discussions. Reading and getting information about the European System of Justice also proves to be a very useful activity. A writing task that students have to accomplish before their exam is writing an essay on an issue related to the law field or to a general theme about civilization. Lista subiectelor posibile 1.
