Due to the spread of English as the predominant language of international business, as well as its role as a legal language within the European Union, Legal English is now a global phenomenon. This article focuses on terms of Legal English used by lawyers and other legal professionals in the course of their work. We emphasize that teaching methods of Legal English are in part similar to the teaching methods of a foreign language. However, there are some additional specific approaches in the teaching of the Professional Legal English to students of law schools. The common methods are combined with the complex philosophical method of hermeneutics. Legal English is vital for successful legal practice. Also, we stress using presentation work or making speech as an effective method of teaching Legal English. Moreover, we have focused on some specific terms related to a contract which are mainly used in teaching Legal English and some key features of drafting legal documents. Teaching Legal English to law students on vocational level requires certain specific teaching methods.

Legal English Program aims to introduce international law branch students to legal terms of particular legal aspects, practice in understanding and correct application of legal terms, and teach translation skills.

Abstract The research aim is to analyze the English-Mongolian proverb translation by students who are studying academic English at the intermediate level at the National University of Mongolia. It was very difficult for students to translate English proverbs into the Mongolian language due to the first attempt to translate English proverbs. A good translation sticks to the reader and can be understandable. It is required not only to have adequate knowledge and experience in translation theory and methods but also to have a great knowledge of the language, culture, customs, and traditions of both languages to translate proverbs. As a result of the survey, we conclude that the proverb translation ability/skill of the students was not enough, because they didn’t have any experience in translating proverbs.
