Course
Overview:
Lawyers, law students
and international business people worldwide who
do not speak English as their native language are
filling up Legal English classes. Schools, corporations
and government bodies are looking for teachers who
specialize in teaching legal terminology, concepts
and attitudes to teach these people.
Teaching Legal English
is becoming an increasingly popular industry, with
TESOL, TESL and TEFL teachers in high demand.
Working with legal issues
demands special skills, knowledge and experience.
It is also an area of teaching that can favor the
legal-minded teacher. Students are highly motivated
since the course has clear advantages for them personally,
or within their company.
The
teacher also needs to be highly flexible. Legal
English needs vary from client to client and from
business to business, but each client/company will
have specific demands and needs for their individual
desired results
