Christian Faith and English Language Teaching and Learning Summary

Christian Faith and English Language Teaching and Learning: Research on the Interrelationship of Religion and ELT by Mary Shepard Wong (Asuza Pacific University, California, USA Azusa Pacific University, Azusa, CA, USA)

Ideological and educational-political aspects of the link between language and faith-especially between Global English and Christianity-is a topic of growing interest in the field of English language teaching. This book explores the possible role and impact of teachers' and students' faith in the English language classroom. Bringing together studies representing a diversity of experiences and perspectives on the philosophies, purposes, practices, and theories of the interrelationship of Christianity and language learning and teaching, it is on the front line in providing empirical data that offers firm insights into the actual role that faith plays in various aspects of the language learning/teaching experience. By adding a data-based dimension, the volume contributes to the cultivation of valid research methods and innovative ways to analyze and interpret studies of the intersection of Christian faith and the practice of teaching and learning language.
