As language teachers, providing law students with the language and communication skills for their profession is a constant challenge. The challenge is to design a curriculum that is pertinent to law students- a curriculum that trains students for a career in law. It also trains them to study law as an academic discipline. In other words, English language skills are required both for academic as well as professional purposes, said the GNLU's statement.

The target group of the program are - professionals, research scholars, faculty members teaching English communication at law universities/institutes, and law faculty engaged in teaching communication in law universities/institutes. The resource persons for this FDP shall be academicians, professionals and technical experts from all over India.

Objectives of the FDP

As per the GNLU statement, the goal is to chalk out a philosophical and conceptual framework for an appropriate curriculum suitable for law students, identify the academic and professional communication needs of law students, train the participants to carry out a needs analysis survey, explore innovative teaching-learning methods in the pedagogy of English for legal academic purposes, develop a language competency framework to assess the skill levels of students, assess the role of literature in developing both productive as well as receptive language skills in law students.
