EPISODE INFORMATION
In this podcast episode I talk about the Lawyer's English Language Coursebook, also known as the TOLES book for the Test of Legal English Skills. This podcast is not endorsed or sponsored by TOLES as is my honest review.
*Note: I mention that the book has a C.V. another legal English teacher has told me that if you email TOLES they may be able to provide the mp3 of the audio for teaching purposes. Also since recording this episode Cambridge Law Studio have introduced an online programme called Illuminate.
