Abstract

Police Café is an innovative dialogue between citizens and police officers for safe and liveable communities. The method was developed by Katalin Molnár, one of the authors of the study. Café EFLE is an educational and methodological innovation that supports learning English for Law Enforcement, developed by Erna Uricska. Our pedagogical approach and the fact that we have been working in higher education for law enforcement led us to explore methods to improve communication between police and citizens in both mother tongue (Hungarian) and English, either in person, or on digital platforms. How is traditional communication changing, especially with the emergence of the online space? What can be transferred there? How does it work in a foreign language? How can different methods work in harmony without competing with each other? And finally, as for teachers, the main question is what methods can and should be used to motivate and train police officers to communicate in a way that is appropriate for their job.
