| dc.description.abstract | In this world, education is led by different philosophies.
Any education institution is based on a chosen philosophy. Christian
institutions, for instance, are led by the Christian philosophy of life.
In Christian higher education, the integration of faith and learning is
of paramount importance, as professors and students approach
teaching and learning within a Christian worldview. The classroom
where English is learned as a second language (L2) is no exception
when it comes to teaching methods to develop adult Christian minds.
This paper discusses the implications of the integration of faith and
learning in a classroom context where adults are learning English as
an L2. It briefly reviews the biblical worldview that genuine Christian
teachers should hold and transmit to their students through modeling.
It analyzes the connection between the process of first and second L2
acquisition and universal grammar within the framework of God as
Creator. It then analyzes key aspects that contribute to an effective
integration of faith and learning in the English classes. Finally, it
presents some practical suggestions on how to attain this holistic
approach of teaching when teaching reading, writing, listening,
speaking, and grammar. | en_US |
