One of the most significant abilities for communicating in everyday life is skills of listening. Being able to follow a speaker in a foreign language and responding in an appropriate way should be taught like all other language skills. However, teaching listening skills is possibly the most difficult part of EFL teachers’ work. Especially it is much harder when you teach listening skills for specific purposes in a non-English speaking environment. One of the spheres where listening skills are considered to be highly important is Law. Knowing a foreign language and mastering different competences, especially, listening skills plays a crucial role in preparing of competitive and well-educated specialists who can be successfully accepted professionals in the international labor market. English is widely used in the area of law and legal profession.

Therefore, educator’s attention should be drawn to enhance students’ listening skills and integrating it with classroom environment.

It also means showing how to do something in a successful and less successful ways, have discussions with students about the processes and challenges they faced during the activity.

If students will be given an opportunity to see and discuss effective listening during these modelled interviews they are far more likely to act in the same way in their own work with their real clients. Another useful way which helps law students to improve their listening is using audiobooks that include legal topics or are written in legal contexts. When students listen to these materials it will help them to become more attentive to the pronunciation, intonation and vocabulary of legal language. As legal English is a lot more difficult than general English, it is also necessary for lawyers to know meanings of various legal term and analyze them simultaneously while listening. Audiobooks expose listeners to native speakers or professional narrators who pronounce legal texts and terms in a clear way and they also improve students understanding of spoken legalese, making it easier to follow discussions in the courtroom during trials and be open to interact with clients.
