Congratulations Dr Christoph Hafner! Winner of CLASS Knowledge Transfer Award 2017
Digital Multimedia Resource for Legal English: An interdisciplinary project
Mission Statement:Improve professional communication by making the insights of disciplinary experts and applied linguists available to all. Learning ‘legal English’, the specialized language that students encounter in law school, is particularly challenging. Dr. Christoph A. Hafner and colleagues from the three Law Schools/Faculties in Hong Kong have created a digital multimedia resource that provides insights into academic/professional legal writing and oral advocacy. It combines the views of expert legal professionals with understandings derived from applied linguistics to produce an accessible resource into effective communication in legal English.
