      Being the most influential language in the world, and one of the most widespread, the current national strategy in terms of studies and training is oriented towards the progressive learning of English by including it and/or in optimizing it in school and student programs. Thus, we hope that this first experience of hybrid teaching of legal English to Third year students will be fruitful.
