In this three-week module, learners will get an introduction to concepts, principles and skills that will prepare them to learn a second language and culture for ministry. The first week is an exploration of their own culture and language, during which we also introduce some basic features of language and culture and ways in which languages and cultures differ.
The last two weeks include practical, hands-on practice with phonetics, language and culture learning techniques and activities, applied to beginning to learn a new language. Learners will try out the new techniques by working with speakers of another language. We will also introduce principles of second language acquisition and there will also be practice in planning lessons, self-evaluation, and ongoing language and culture learning, with an emphasis on developing cross-cultural communicative competence."
Go Mission Institute
The GoMission Institute is an integral missionary training program designed for enabling workers to hit the ground running with confidence. With the direct assistance of leaders from Christar, New Tribes Mission, Worldview Resource Group and the Summer Institute for Linguistics, we have designed a unique and dynamic approach to preparing workers for the harvest.
Some subjects we cover are:
• Church Planting
• Language and Culture Acquisition
• Tent-making and Business Training
• Character Development
• Worldviews
• Team Dynamics
• Hostage Situations
• Crisis Contingency Planning
• Basic First Aid
• Internet Security
In all four tracks we incorporate the principles of knowing, being and doing by integrating classroom teaching with mentor-led, hands-on practice. Modules can be taken independently, or, if taken all together students will fulfill requirements for completing the one-year GoMission Institute.
Small Business Training
Are you a business professional, have a marketable skill, or someone who can train others to set up businesses? As part of our program, future workers are trained to do tent-making cross-culturally.
New Worker Orientation
Be a part of training new workers in financial management, spiritual warfare, team dynamics and member care, legal assistance, security training, publications, mentoring and more.
