Tribal languages often have sounds and grammatical patterns that are radically different from English. Many have no written form at all. At the Language Institute you will learn effective methods for overcoming these challenges in whatever tribal language you may encounter.
Our two to three-semester curriculum includes:
- Phonetics—how to learn the sound system of a tribal language
- Culture and Language Acquisition—how to learn a tribal language and worldview
- Linguistic Analysis—how to discover the grammatical structure and develop an orthography
- Literacy—how to teach tribal people to read and write their own language
- Bible Translation—principles of accurately conveying the Word of God in another language
- Health and Wellness—addressing the unique concerns of staying healthy in tribal settings
- Missionary Technology—how to use tools that will enhance your work
- Church Planting—the overall strategy for accomplishing your goal
