| Description | This workshop will explore student self-reflection as a means to further develop their professional language skills in and out of the classroom. After an initial hands-on activity that will allow the workshop participants to experience self-reflection on a simple classroom task themselves, two case studies will be shared. In the first case study, novice Law Students reflect on their first exposure to Legalese, in the latter, more experienced lawyers-to-be self-examine their progress while acquiring key legal soft skills, namely lawyer-client interviews and negotiations. The focus will be not only on student perceptions but also on the implications for us as teachers to help us to maximise the impact of our teaching on the student performance. |
