I currently have a student enrolled in a tertiary course in Accountancy. Now let’s be frank here: this takes me beyond my usual comfort zone as an English teacher. Do any of you out there have any suggestions for resources, or any ideas at all?
I have found the following:
1. At a very introductory level, but a plus is that the material is Australian, is the site Discovering Democracy.
2. There are some useful links, even if in a US context, on LANGUAGEandLAW.org. For example:
the creation, structure, and interpretation of the legal text sample legal texts from throughout the ages (wills, deeds, writs, trials, etc.)
3. TransLegal together with Cambridge ESOL has a page of downloads related to the International Legal English Certificate. See also:
Any more ideas?
