Ten discussion chapters. Each chapter is structured in the following way:

• Discussion text In each chapter there is a discussion text outlining the specific theme under discussion.

• This text discusses a particular area of contract law. The purpose of this text is both to develop students’ understanding of contract law and more importantly their legal English vocabulary. Technical and difficult vocabulary is highlighted and translated so as to allow students better understanding.

• Both texts are followed by exercises allowing the student to test their knowledge.

• Specialist text This text deals with a specific topic linked to the main discussion in section discussed above. This section allows readers to further develop both their understanding of the contract law and above all their mastery of legal English.

• Online technical vocabulary An oral technical vocabulary list exists for each chapter, so that the student can practice pronouncing each of the technical words set out in the technical vocabulary;
•  Online presentations The student will have access to one or two online presentations (depending on the course choice) to help with his/her understanding of the text.
  • A presentation discussing the main text in each chapter;
  • A presentation developing the main theme discussed in each chapter.

• Grammar corner On subscribing to an online course, the student is allowed access to the entire grammar area of the site. In grammar corner, the main English grammar themes are revisited, for example:
  • how different tenses are formed;
  • a look at modal auxiliaries; 
  • using  but + auxiliary verbs;
  • how to use mid-sentence adverbs etc.

• Translation section The students newly acquired vocabulary is then tested in six short translation texts (English to French and French to English). As in the case of the main text, the purpose is not just to improve and develop vocabulary but also to improve the translator’s knowledge of the area of law in question and to demonstrate how legal technical vocabulary is used.
• Test The student will have the opportunity to complete interactive online exercises to test his/her knowledge of the technical vocabulary contained in each course segment.
