| dc.description.abstract | English is interwoven with all layers of the socio-economic
life. This fact is globally true in travel, business, ministry, education,
and many other domains. No one can deny the importance of English
today. With the heritage of the Spirit of Prophecy available primarily
in English, the Adventist Church has an even better reason to be in
the frontline of promoting English language learning and teaching.
This paper discusses the role of English in today’s Adventist world. It
proposes some paths to meet the English teaching and learning needs
to equip better the Adventist people for the mission and for their lives
in the 21st century. These include offering more TESOL programs,
using technology more effectively to make English learning more
accessible, and the design of Bible-based instructional materials or
materials aligned with the philosophy of Adventist education. | en_US |
