🥳Apparently, today is 'International Plain Language Day'. ⁣⁠
Here are some of my podcasts and posts which relate to plain English: ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
➡️ https://studylegalenglish.com/?s=plain+english⁣⁠
⁣⁠
And my site's Privacy Policy, written in plain English, which I co-created with Sofija Belajcic. It is available online and as a PDF here: ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
➡️ https://studylegalenglish.com/privacy-policy/ ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
... and can be used for teaching (and learning!) purposes. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
❔ What plain language resources can you recommend?👇⁣⁣⁠

Here’s my latest podcast episode! Tag a friend who is interested in this topic. 😊 ⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁠
⁣This episode is about the Study Legal English for Development and TOLES for Professional Career Project which ran in summer 2021 in collaboration with the Law and Administration Faculty at UMCS the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, Poland. It was organised by myself and UMCS legal English lecturers Ewa Orłowska and Małgorzata Chmielewska for their students. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
We listen to some audio presentations by the winners, slightly edited for the podcast, and answer some questions to practise our comprehension skills.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Tip: If you’re a teacher of legal English, you can use this as a listening exercise with your own students. Note: This project is not endorsed by TOLES.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Winners from Ewa's class:⁣⁠
⁣⁠
🥇 1st: Weronika Majchrzak & Katarzyna Mitura⁣⁠
⁣⁠
🥈 2nd: Monika Ujma⁣⁠
⁣⁠
🥉 3rd: Natalia Małkowska ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Winners from Gosia’s class:⁣⁠
⁣⁠
🥇 1st: Paulina Działo⁣⁠

🥈 2nd: Jagoda Bożek⁣⁠
