3rd Annual Forum of the Biblical Language Center (Whole Word Institute)

This year the forum will focus on the curricula and community needs of those using a Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach. A main purpose of the merger of the Biblical Language Center with the Whole Word Institute is to facilitate and energize curriculum development. With efforts already under way but still in their initial stages, we invite instructors and students to help shape the process by sharing their insights into what makes CLT curriculum most effective. How can a curriculum foster a better out-of-classroom community, be it for instructors at various stages of making the transition from Grammar-Translation to CLT, or for students looking for more engagement opportunities outside of the classroom? Finally, there will also be the opportunity to hear about new developments, including the prospects of an intensive one-year immersion program for Koine Greek.
