President’s Message
The warmest of welcomes to all of you who have been able to come to this
conference. Those of us who have worked on the conference in any way
hope that the sessions will be useful and perhaps inspiring. We recognize
too that for many people the opportunity simply to be with others who
share both faith and a passion for good English teaching is refreshing.
Please take advantage of this opportunity to meet and encourage others.
When we exchange ideas, email addresses, and prayer requests, we build
connections that help sustain ministry in a multitude of places. Please too,
when you have a chance, thank Janice GT Penner and her committee for
all the work they have done. I'm looking forward to a wonderful day
together.

Abstract
Presenters & Contact Info
This presentation explores how Reading Theaters were used
in Iraq through a U.S. State Department grant to train 200
Iraqi teacher trainers as part of a national plan. Anne of
Green Gables subversively promotes concern for orphans,
widows, educating girls, and female teachers. Instructional
methods and reading purposes are explored.
Mark Rentz is the Executive Director of Arizona State
University’s American English and Culture Program,
one of the largest intensive ESL programs in the USA.
Rentz has conducted over 40 teacher-training
programs.
Email: Mark.Rentz@asu.edu
Confronted with cheating, how can Christian English
language teachers live out a witness? Both justice and mercy
present knotty professional, moral, and spiritual challenges.
This presentation explores these issues by means of case
studies of North American CELTs working in Southeast
Asia.
Bradley Baurain currently trains ESOL teachers at
Briercrest College in Saskatchewan. He enjoys learning
about teacher development, narrative inquiry, and the
moral and spiritual dimensions of the classroom.
Email: bbaurain@gmail.com
Jesus often elicited questions and deeper interaction while
teaching. ESL/EFL teachers have similar challenges while
engaging students in thoughtful interaction that transcend
cultural differences. This interactive presentation focuses on
minimizing barriers which may inhibit student participation.
By examining ways to create structured learning tasks,
teachers may be able to provide opportunities for both direct
and indirect communicative learning experiences.

language teaching materials and evaluates their suitability for
teaching learners from conservative cultures. Criteria for
choosing materials which will facilitate, rather than hinder,
Christian ELT ministry as a ‘bridge’ to learners from
worldviews such as Islam will be considered.
TESOL’s new
Certificate Standards:
Implications for
Christian programs
This session provides information about TESOL
International Association’s new TESOL Certificate
Standards. The presenter, a member of the TESOL
committee designing the standards, shares an overview of
the standards and their possible impact on Christian ministry
through TESOL.
Grammar-Based
Reading
Comprehension
Strategies
Strategy use can enhance comprehension, yet little attention
has been paid to the role of grammar in reading
comprehension. In this presentation, the presenter will
demonstrate how ESL readers can use a set of grammar
structures to enhance their comprehension of academic and
theological texts. Handouts and worksheets provided.
What WCETs need to
know: A local
Perspective
The presenter outlines the linguistic, racial, cultural, and
religious privilege and power that Western Christian English
Teachers (WCETs) hold in the EFL context in China and
provides seven suggestions to mitigate this privilege through
applying biblical principles to teaching practice and
collaborating with local Christian colleagues.

Biblical narratives retold in movies offer instructors
opportunities to creatively engage students in improving
multiple skills, while building a foundation for spiritual
discussions. The featured curriculum for adult English
language learners includes multi-level activities and has been
used successfully with members of New York City's
diplomatic community.
Heidi Jensen has taught ESL/EFL in Japan, the United
Nations English Language Programme, and other NY
venues. She develops faith-based materials to begin
spiritual conversations among ethnically, culturally, and
spiritually diverse classes.
Email: HeidiLnJensen@gmail.com
Is language just an amoral information channel? Or is it
better characterized as a morally-charged force? Arguing
for the latter, the presenter will discuss how teaching
English as an additional language might be impacted if we
view students as moral agents and language as a powerful
tool with moral consequences.
Richard Robison chairs the Global Studies, Sociology,
and TESOL Department at Azusa Pacific University,

This presentation reports on research conducted on
missionary letters from the 19th and 20th centuries housed in
the archives Harvard and Yale Divinity School. It provides
implications the findings have for today’s Christian teachers
including the importance of learning local languages,
responding to social crises, and drawing upon one’s faith.
Although many Christian language educators naturally
integrate language and peace education in their practice, little
intentional discussion has been shared on the theological
grounding for language learning as peacebuilding. This
session will provide a space to share participants’
experiences and reflect on theological aspects of peace and
language learning.

Validation, Values,
and Language
Learning in Cultural
Transition
This workshop presents a tool for helping language teachers
identify the make-up of learners’ validation networks as well
as underlying values. The role of language is considered
along with language goals to facilitate the discussion of
values and strengthening of learners’ validation networks
and well-being in a new cultural context.

program at Trinity Western University in Canada. Her
publications include research on identity and
interpersonal dynamics in church-sponsored ESL and

Revealing the Divine
in the Secular
Using scriptures and blatantly Christian materials may incur
lawsuits in secular schools. Thus, Christian teachers may
desire to help students perceive the Divine in secular
materials. This presentation will demonstrate how the
Divine can be displayed in biology, political science, and
sociology chapters in a textbook for college-bound ESL
students.

classroom scenarios are depicted and interpreted.

This presentation highlights research that explores

perspective. The research covers facets such as learning an
L2 to hone skills in order to honor the divine and
developing a connection to sacred texts based on learning its
target language. Implications for future research and
applications in the classroom will be considered.
How can English language teachers integrate a Christian
worldview with content-based materials? This
presentation will focus on the development of a published
textbook unit which emphasizes the integrity of the content
(in science, social studies, math, literature, and the arts)
while infusing it with a distinctly Christian perspective.
This session will explore the Christian value of respect for
other cultures as it concerns our pedagogy, which tends to
reflect western cultural norms. We'll explore adapting our
methods to take advantage of different cultural
communication norms such as silence and public speech
patterns.
This presentation provides an introduction to and activities
for ‘Culture of Peace and Friendship’ which promotes the
educational ideals of peace, intercultural friendship and racial
harmony. The presentation incorporates Christian values for
