| Description | The article describes how two teaching ideas, namely that of creating tasks for the audience and writing presentation abstracts, can be employed to make students more actively involved in presentation planning, delivery and reception. The methodology is described in detail, with student feedback added to allow readers to make their own conclusions on how well it works and how it is perceived by Legal English undergraduates. |
