| Description | With the advancement of modern technologies, legal English classes can become more varied and interesting. Since most students nowadays carry electronic devices with them, teachers are able to rely on these forms of technology to assign some specific class-based and out-of-class learning tasks. The workshop describes several methods, such as student supervisor and peer review, which provide students with a unique opportunity to see how their classmates assess each other’s achievement. We will focus on how to make these methods maximally effective – how they work with real students, how teachers may set relevant tasks, what problems may arise, and how they may be addressed. We will also look at how peer review can be applied in the syllabus in order to practice a whole range of skills apart from writing. The workshop participant will have a chance to reflect on how these approaches may be integrated in their own unique teaching situations. |
