Prerrequisitos
Students should have passed English 1, or have Cambridge First Certificate in English (FCE) with at least a B grade (equivalent to a level B2 in the CEFR), IELTS 5, TOEFL 80.
Students will be placed into the appropriate edition of Idioma II according to their CEFR level established by ESADE Language Center.
Distribución de la carga de trabajo
Contact hours and content will depend on whether the student is assigned to the main track or communication skills course. This will be decided by the English department.
The format of the classes, whether they are online, face to face, or a combination of both, is decided by programme management
Observations:
Given the nature of language acquisition, the figure given for independent study is no more than an approximation: students will be given tasks and assignments to work on outside class, but in addition to this, they are expected to actively seek further learning opportunities. There will be compulsory class material as well as obligatory online material to be completed.
Contribución de la asignatura al programa
Students have the opportunity to undertake an academic exchange at foreign universities during their studies, many of which offer courses taught in English.
In addition, some subjects will be taught in English during the course.
After graduation and in an increasingly international professional environment, a good command of English is essential for effective communication.
Students will become familiar with legal terminology in English.
Objetivos de aprendizaje de la asignatura
The aim of the course is to enable students to engage in written and spoken communication on specialised legal topics through the study of specialist lexis & advanced grammar with special importance given to appropriacy and register.
Speaking skills: activities designed to work on speaking skills include discussions, relevant skills for level, role plays and case studies.
Listening comprehension: students will practise listening for gist, identifying key points, listening for detail and identifying a speaker's attitude, through classroom activities and resources for individual use drawing not only on learning materials, but also on a wide range of authentic material from a range of sources.
Reading: different skills are developed, including skimming, scanning and reading for study purposes using texts drawn from a variety of sources. Students will become aware of the difference between formal and more informal registers.
Writing: tasks include summary writing, not as an end in itself, but in preparation for reports, e-mails, academic writing and other types of communication practised at more advanced levels.
Linguistic resources: all the above skills demand constant consolidation and expansion of syntactic and lexical knowledge, and practice in pronunciation and intonation. This involves focusing on aspects of the language that students are already familiar with, but do not yet control fully.
Metodología
Classes are conducted in English throughout, and demand full participation and commitment on the part of the individual student and of the group. Effective learning also depends on extensive individual work outside class, writing tasks, extensive and intensive reading, studying structural and lexical aspects of the language, preparing presentations and researching topics related with studies.
Criterios de evaluación
In order to pass the course students must pass both the oral and written component of the exam with at least 50%.
Oral Component 50%
Written Component 50%
Class attendance is obligatory. Students who miss more than 20% of the class will not be able to do the final exam and will be marked NP, no presentado, resulting in a loss of their first "convocatoria".
They will have to take the resit exam in July. The participation mark is only applied to students who pass the oral and written.
Students must obtain a score of at least 50% both in the written and oral parts of the year's work. In the resits students need only retake the part that they have failed. At subsequent resits, however, students must retake both the oral and written components.
Bibliografía
Materials have been developed by the languages team and will be posted on class moodles.
