It integrates the theory, practice and legal counselling with the development of language competence and academic skills in the very specific context of current refugee problems. The course consists of English for Specific Purposes seminars (language training), lectures on relevant topics and practical workshops. The practical workshops aim at the application of the team-teaching method, with the assistance of ESP teachers, Internationalists and Refugee Practitioners, towards asylum procedures simulation and domestic law application in accordance with international instruments, refugee protection or case studies.
