Modernising ESP Course Materials for Law Students

Institution: IUHD
Pathway 1: Teaching & Materials Innovation
Lead: Orazsoltan Annamyradova
Target group: Law students
Focus: A semester-long pilot to modernise ESP course materials through the use and adaptation of Market Leader (Business Law).

Reflect on the progress you have made in implementing your mini-project so far. Consider your original aims, the activities you have carried out, the outcomes achieved, and the challenges you have encountered. Support your reflections with specific examples or evidence wherever possible. If some activities are still in progress, explain what you have achieved to date, what you have learned, and what your next steps will be. Focus on progress, impact, lessons learned, and priorities for further development, rather than simply describing the activities you have completed.

1. What progress have you made in adapting Market Leader materials to the language-learning needs of law students?
2. Which units or activities have you piloted or modified, and what have you learned from using them?
3. How have students responded to the materials, particularly in relation to their relevance, engagement and confidence?
4. What examples have you observed of students applying the language or communication skills developed through these materials?
5. What challenges have arisen when adapting business-oriented materials for law students, and how have you responded?
6. What feedback or evidence have you collected to evaluate the effectiveness of the pilot so far?
7. What improvements or further developments do you plan for the remainder of the pilot or future semesters?
