The Gift of the Stranger by David I Smith
A pioneering look at the implications of Christian faith for foreign language education. It has become clear in recent years that reflection on foreign language education involves more than questioning which methods work best. This new volume carries current discussions of the value-laden nature of foreign language teaching into new territory by exploring its spiritual and moral dimensions. David Smith and Barbara Carvill show how the Christian faith sheds light on the history, aims, content, and methods of foreign language education. They also propose a new approach to the field based on the Christian understanding of hospitality.At Calvin College, David I.Smith is the Director of Graduate Studies in Education and the Kuyers Institute for Christian Teaching and Learning. In addition, he is a Senior Editor for the International Journal of Christianity and Education. Teaching and Christian Imagination (co-authored with Susan M.) are two of his most recent books. Learning from the Stranger: Christian Faith and Cultural Diversity (with James K. Felch), Teaching and Christian Practices: Reshaping Faith and Learning (with James K. Felch), and Teaching and Christian Practices: Reshaping Faith and Learning (with James K. Felch). Smith, A.).
