Aims of the work package: To find out by interviewing companies in the field of law about the language and communication competencies needs of the professionals working in this field. The interviews will form a basis of the CEF Professionals profile in this field.

The first version: completed 02/06
Comments: completed 03/06
The improved second version: completed based on the comments received in cross-evaluation of the profiles 04/06
Testing the profile: in course and curriculum planning 05/06-12/06
Finish: as the tested version is completed 12/06

Partners involved: Warsaw University (completing the profile); Central Ostrobothnia Polytechnic, Rakom Consultants and EAPLA (cross-evaluation)
Indirect partners involved: Legal consultancies in Poland

Roles of partners: The language and communication competencies profile (products as a result of interviews with the legal consultancies) will be completed for higher education purposes only, as law is studied solely at the universities as main field of study. The communication competencies needs are analysed and these are translated into CEF professional profiles in the work package.

Expected outcomes: A Profile that describes the language and communication competencies needs in the field of law and thus completes the first step of the project for this field. It is to function as a base on LSP curriculum planning and course implementation in the English language education in the participating countries.

Input Requirements: Completing the three CEF professional profile requires an input of 15 days of labour (calculated as full working days, 8 hrs per day) from the partner involved in the active production. The evaluation of a profile is worth an input of three 8-hour work days.
