In this book, Johnston conducts a detailed ethnography of an evangelical language school in Poland, looking at its Bible-based curriculum, and analyzing interaction in classes for adults. He also explores the idea of ‘relationship’ in the context of the school and its mission activity, and more broadly the cultural encounter between North American evangelicalism and Polish Catholicism. The book comprises an in-depth examination of a key issue facing TEFL in the 21st century, and will be of interest to all practitioners and scholars in the field, whatever their position on this topic.Critical language and literacy studies ;21.English languageStudy and teachingPolish speakersEducationReligious aspectsPoland21st centuryBilingualismPolandEnglish teaching.Ethnography.Evangelical Christianity.Evangelism.Mission work.Missionary.Poland.TEFL.TESOL.English languageStudy and teachingEducationReligious aspectsBilingualism428.0071/0438Johnston Bill, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut742929DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910162812903321English Teaching and Evangelical Mission2786493UNINA
