Topik: legal English; competency-based education Fulltext: hal 369.pdf (15.04MB) Isi artikel There is a swift shift in pedagogic paradigm in the 21st century – that is the directional change from teacher-centered to learner-centered learning process. This is generally termed as competency-based education. This would imply that it is the learners who have a more active role and not the teacher anymore.The above learning process is also applied in the National Land Institute (NLI), Yogyakarta. English, one of the compulsory subjects, is also presented using the competency-based strategy. The NLI is the only Higher Education Institution, in Indonesia, that deals with Land and/or Agrarian affairs. Its missions are among others: running the excellent education which integrates technical, legal, and administrative and leadership knowledge on land affairs. Therefore, English is considered as belonging to an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) as this may be used in the learners’ work since they are all coming from the same land office and will be doing similar things. Seen from the above missions, legal English plays an important role to be taught. As a matter of fact, there are many types of legal sciences such as civil law, criminal law, business law, land law and so forth. In this context, the students of the above institute are taught more on land law rather than other types of laws. In the competency-based education, the teacher will not be the only source but he or she is just one of the sources as the students may learn from other resources, such as newspaper, books as well as from social media.
