THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A LAW ENFORCEMENT ENGLISH COURSE: A CASE STUDY

Summary/Abstract: The paper aims at highlighting the challenge of a 13-year English language teaching experience in a vocational higher education environment, namely the Romanian Police Academy. More specifically, it offers an insight into an intricate process of designing and implementing an English language course for Romanian law enforcement students. The English for law enforcement course book has been the result of a thorough process, which consisted of several stages such as the identification of the students’ learning needs, a subsequent step of assiduous documentation and careful selection of materials, ultimately followed by an elaborate materials development. The course has a practical focus and its goal is primarily to provide students with a wide range of police-related topics depicting authentic job-related situations and secondarily to integrate language learning activities tailored to the students’ need to practice all English language skills.
