"Language for specific purposes education at university level has experienced a shift from traditional vocabulary and the 4-skill-based (reading-writing-listening-speaking) language teaching towards incorporating pragmatic issues and \u201Csoft skills\u201D elements into classroom activities. Such activities aim at preparing students for their future careers in terms of good professional as well as social practices. This paper will offer an insight into a joint international programme for students of law which is run between the University of Helsinki (Finland) and Masaryk University (Czech Republic). The language centres of the two universities cooperate on English for law courses that are partly run together, via videoconferencing, in a virtual classroom. In addition to practicing professional English in an international environment, the students are encouraged to practice negotiating, arguing, persuading, being polite, presenting, video conferencing and intercultural skills." . . . .
