| Description | Internationalization of Czech universities is a burning issues addressed by all stakeholders from various perspectives. Language competences are only one of the key elements necessary should any internationalization take place. Other issues include basic principles of cross-cultural communication, global citizenship and our students´ sound subject knowledge. Future lawyers at Masaryk University understand the need to develop these competences. It is, therefore, our responsibility to provide courses focusing on such skills. The aim of the talk is to present a practical, simple and cheap way to internationalize our otherwise mono-cultural classroom via videoconferencing with a foreign partner university. It will mainly focus on learning cycles within which the future lawyers practice negotiations, speeches, courtroom behaviour and mentoring in the international videoconferencing context. |
