Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
Tiếng Anh pháp lý là yếu tố không thể thiếu, góp phần vào sự phát triển của lĩnh vực pháp lý. Trong quá trình học tập tiếng Anh pháp lý, kĩ năng đọc hiểu đóng vai trò quan trọng bởi đọc hiểu là cơ sở để phát triển các kĩ năng khác. Thông qua phương pháp điều tra khảo sát, nghiên cứu nhằm tìm ra những khó khăn mà sinh viên ngành Ngôn ngữ Anh tại Trường Đại học Luật Hà Nội gặp phải trong quá trình đọc hiểu văn bản tiếng Anh pháp lý. Kết quả cho thấy người học gặp khó khăn do đặc điểm khác biệt của ngôn ngữ tiếng Anh pháp lý, thiếu kiến thức nền pháp luật và các yếu tố tâm lý của người học. Tác giả hi vọng những kết quả này sẽ đưa ra một số đề xuất sư phạm cho giảng viên trong quá trình giảng dạy tiếng Anh pháp lý.
