Abstract

In the workshop a series of tasks which make use of modern technologies were presented and explored. The examples, ranging from short 5-minute tasks to more complex activities, aimed at developing all language skills, however, the focus was on speaking and writing. Google Docs, Peer Review Software, mobile phones, as well as online Internet resources were exploited. Several authentic examples of students’ achievements and feedback were discussed. The implementation of technologies into legal English classes can result in increasing the students' motivation and the intensity of their work, nevertheless, the tasks need to be prepared carefully and meaningfully.
