A summary of each can be found in the file: Talks delivered.

These files include many of the prepared talks that I gave, and notes for some other meetings with students.

 

With special thanks to all the students from the Faculty of Foreign Philology who translated for me, and also to the staff in the Faculties who also assisted with the talks.

 

Several of the talks are basic introductions for students. Much of the content was amplified and covered in more detail in subsequent classes and discussions. This included in a three session Legal English course in the Faculty of Law, that focused on advanced conversation using the legal system language already learned. The course was co-delivered by Steven Andrew. The specialist English tutors of the Faculty of Law also participated.

 

Feel free to use the material non-commercially if you like, especially anyone at Zaporizhzhya National University, or anyone learning English in Ukraine or elsewhere, but do just acknowledge the source, and author, and place first used.
