Sprachziele dieses Clips: Fachgerechte Englisch-Kommunikation für Juristen

Dieser Clip zielt darauf ab, Juristen bei der Verbesserung ihrer fachsprachlichen Englisch-Kompetenz zu helfen, insbesondere bei der korrekten Verwendung unregelmäßiger Verben, die in rechtlichen Kontexten häufig vorkommen. Mit diesen Verben können Sie klare, präzise Sätze bilden – ein entscheidender Meilenstein für eine flüssige Kommunikation in Gerichten, Verhandlungen oder schriftlichen Dokumenten.

Redemittel-Sammlung: Rechtliche Unregelmäßige Verben

Hier eine übersichtliche Liste mit wiederverwendbaren Ausdrücken und Verben aus dem Video, die Sie in Ihrer täglichen Arbeit als Jurist einsetzen können:

  • arise, arose, arisen: "Ein Streit ist bezüglich der Auslegung der Klausel entstanden." (etw. entstehen)
  • bind, bound, bound: "Die Parteien sind durch den Vertrag gebunden." (verpflichten)
  • break, broke, broken: "Der Angeklagte hat das Gesetz gebrochen." (verletzen)
  • bring, brought, brought: "Der Kläger hat Klage gegen den Beklagten eingereicht." (Rechtshandlungen einleiten)
  • find, found, found: "Das Gericht hat den Angeklagten schuldig gesprochen." (entscheiden, feststellen)
  • plead, pled/pleaded, pled/pleaded: "Der Angeklagte hat schuldig gebeten." (sich verteidigen, Geständnis ablegen)
  • seek, sought, sought: "Der Kläger verlangte Schadenersatz für Vertragsverletzung." (befolgen, anstreben)

Schwächen beheben: Aussprache und Rhythmus in rechtlichem Englisch

Ein häufiges Problem bei der Verwendung von unregelmäßigen Verben im rechtlichen Englisch ist die Unsicherheit bei der Aussprache und der richtigen Konjugation. Mit Englisch Shadowing – einer bewährten Methode, bei der Sie die Sätze aus dem Video laut nachsprechen – können Sie nicht nur die Aussprache verbessern, sondern auch den Rhythmus und die Betonung von Fachausdrücken internalisieren. Nutzen Sie dazu eine shadowing site oder Apps wie "shadowspeaks", um Ihre Übung zu strukturieren. Achten Sie besonders auf Verben wie swear (schwören: swore, sworn) oder prove (beweisen: proved, proven), die oft falsch konjugiert werden. Üben Sie, die Sätze in verschiedenen Szenarien zu verwenden – z. B. bei der Vorbereitung eines Plädoyers oder der Analyse eines Gerichtsentscheids – um sicherzustellen, dass Sie sie fließend anwenden können.

Indem Sie diese Verben regelmäßig üben – vor allem mithilfe von shadow speak-Techniken – stärken Sie Ihre Fähigkeit, sich in rechtlichen Kontexten klar und professionell auszudrücken. Probieren Sie es aus: Wählen Sie einen Satz aus der Redemittel-Sammlung, hören Sie sich die Aussprache im Video an und sprechen Sie ihn sofort nach. Wiederholen Sie dies, bis der Rhythmus und die Betonung nahtlos klingen. So verbessern Sie nicht nur Ihre Grammatik, sondern auch Ihre Selbstsicherheit im gesprochenen Englisch für Juristen.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
