VIII. METHOD OF INSTRUCTION The course aims to be largely practical and mainly student-centered, in order to encourage students to become autonomous learners and to play active role in their own learning process, which will help them develop the communication skills they will need to communicate in English in their professional future. In order to practice the language orally and carry out the group work that will be assigned throughout the course, class attendance is essential. Students will develop their oral skills individually, in pairs or in groups by carrying out different communicative tasks related to the topics, being studied in the course books as well as any supplementary materials that will be handed out during the course will be available on Moodle. The course is taught entirely in English and students will be expected to communicate in English at all times. To achieve the course objectives and acquire the skills that have been specified, each course unit will include the following methodology: Group work, project work and seminars: in-class sessions supervised either by the teacher in which students will be the focal point, working individually, in pairs or in groups. The objective will be to practice language production in the classroom. The classes will be centered on the students and their active participation, carrying out exercises in pairs or in groups, as well as working on exercises individually. These exercises can be oral or written, and can include listening comprehension activities using audiovisual materials, oral information exchanges, class discussions, reading and text analysis. The teacher’s role will be to stimulate and monitor the students’ learning, helping and correcting them whenever necessary. Oral evaluation: Each student will be evaluated on his/her performance during the presentations and given individual feedback at the end. Evaluation will be based on understanding of the area of law, organization as well as structure and clarity of the information provided. Written evaluation: Drawing up of a formal letter and/or email: The student will be given several themes to choose from and will have to write about 300 words using formal, legal language. Quizzes and final exam: The students will be given a mid-term quiz and a final exam at the end, which will evaluate all the material covered during the course. Use of interactive educational technologies (case study, work in small groups; conferences, presentations from legal practitioners); Use of Power Point presentations; Use of ratings and accumulative system of control. Self-study: Along with the learning activities done in class, homework is essential in order to consolidate both general and specific skills to be acquired. a) Individual written homework. Students will be expected to do the exercises and activities assigned for homework. In some case, work assigned will be picked up and checked. The objective of these homework assignments is to provide students with further practice and to consolidate the course content, including vocabulary and structures seen in class. b) Individual reading - Reading of texts assigned to develop reading skills. c) Group work, Students will have to prepare exercises outside class, at times in collaboration with the other students or individually.
