Description

Thinking Theologically about Language Teaching: Christian Perspectives on an Educational Calling This book explores how Christians can inform their language teaching methods with theological truths from Scripture. At the intersection of linguistics, culture, and education, language teachers face a unique challenge. By bringing their daily work into alignment with Christ's reality, they can develop a pedagogy that glorifies God in the classroom. The contributors to this book outline why theology must inform teaching methods and how Christian language educators can serve their students with both faith and excellence. They argue that by pointing students to the communicative God whose image they bear, teachers can help them grow in their understanding of themselves and the world around them. By engaging with these ideas, language teachers can develop a nuanced approach that equips their students for effective communication and spiritual growth.
