The course aims to provide the student with the basic linguistic preparation necessary for the study of law in English. Particular attention will be paid to the use of legal lexicon through the performance of educational activities and exercises that, in a gradual and targeted way, will contribute to the development of generic and specific lexicon in certain contexts through reading, writing and use of English activities. Diverse readings will be presented and analyzed aimed at consolidating specific communication skills and acquired linguistic structures. The teaching material will be provided by the teacher during the lessons.
