Get credits for learning a language on the field. This program is for those that have done or who are considering doing a Discipleship Training School.

This course offers credit for language acquisition that goes beyond classroom learning to on-the-field language learning whilst interacting with the community being reached. The foreign language is acquired, then, both through formal classes and in everyday life, whether on the street, in the marketplace, or through ongoing personal relationships built over time. Students are trained in language acquisition skills during Foundations for Intercultural Studies (HMT 271) or an equivalent course, and then will complete a period of practical language learning, using the aforementioned relationship-oriented approach to language study. Students are required to demonstrate regular advance in their language skills and assessment of language competence will be made at pre-determined time intervals. The grade and number of credits awarded will be based on the level of progress made by the student.
