handout <\/a>in which I explain step by step how to create courses on memrise. I hope it will be useful for you and your students.<\/p>\nMem<\/em>rise is an educational tool available both online and for mobile devices. Mem<\/em>rise uses flashcards and mnemonic techniques to aid in teaching foreign languages and memorizing information from other subjects, e.g. geography, law or mathematics. Mem<\/em>rise courses are created by its users through the process of crowdsourcing, therefore they are tailored to the individual needs of the users and may focus on the specific content of a particular coursebook or classes.<\/p>\nThe paper will attempt to present possibilities of using mem<\/em>rise in teaching and learning legal English vocabulary during a tertiary course leading to TOLES (Test of Legal English Skills) certificate examination. The paper will look various types of exercises which facilitate memorizing vocabulary, learning collocations, prepositional phrases, develop the skill of paraphrasing and defining legal terms of art in plain English.

The paper will contrastively analyse the progress tests results achieved by the students who have used mem<\/em>rise to revise and recycle language material and those who have chosen traditional (non-mobile) methods of learning. The research will also attempt to address the question whether the students who have been the contributors to the content for mem<\/em>rise courses have performed in tests better than those who have only been the users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This week I am going to present at the BLEC Conference „LANGUAGE AND LAW – TRADITIONS, TRENDS AND PERSPECTIVES” at the University of Bia\u0142ystok.
