Student Centred Legal Language Study

Abstract

ABSTRACT:The article introduces parts of a self-study programme for LLB (Europe) German students 1 , which include the use of satellite TV and CALL. The whole self-study programme was tested for two years at the Nottingham Trent University. This paper focuses on the rationale of the study programme, pedagogical objectives and theoretical considerations within the context of language learning as well as the students' evaluation. The evaluation shows that overall the package was seen as a positive learning experience. CALL can be a solution to the problem of limited materials for languages for specific purposes. The use of mixed media is possible for language teaching for specific purposes without having to be combined in 1 multimedia computer-based programmes. CALL can also be a solution to the problems caused by reduced contact time.2 INTRODUCTION:
