Every week, students practice reading strategies that enable students to read faster, build comprehension, and sharpen study skills. Students read a variety of texts and perform reading tasks that are typical of seminary study. In particular, students read to understand culture and cross-cultural communication. Students discover insights into cultures and develop communication skills that will enhance cross-cultural participation. Thus, reading stimulates dynamic interaction of language skills and cultural learning.
Students gain reading skills to better comprehend theological literature.
Moreover, students gain cultural understanding to adapt more readily to the United States as they live, study, and minister in a cross-cultural setting. Students actively engage in different types of academic reading, exercises, small group work, presentations, lectures, and discussions. Levine, Deena R. and Mara B. Adelman.
