Content
The choice of the topic or theme to be studied is left to approved institutions but must have staff and library support sufficient to sustain the unit. The course coordinator is responsible for submitting for approval a proposed unit outline along with assessment plans to the moderator for Languages.
The unit is taught, conducted as a seminar involving class discussion as well as lectures and individual reading. The unit is not an individual research topic. It is strongly recommended that the unit include set reading not covered elsewhere in the candidates’ course.
- Candidates must demonstrate a thorough grasp of the language issues involved
- Assessment should be designed to encourage exploration of the personal and pastoral implications of languages discerned in candidates’ learning
- Units approved for the Master of Arts (Theology or Ministry) may be used as the basis for this unit, adjusted appropriately to reflect major level MDiv study for students enrolled in the Master of Divinity
