Abstract
"I was very encouraged to read the articles promoting MTTE in AJET 29.1. Both authors stated the case well, and in this reflection I have merely underscored some of their major concerns and recommendations. This includes doing everything feasible to make it possible (e.g. through a reduced workload – p. 23) for expatriate instructors to function effectively in the local vernacular as well as “the local world-view and culture based on it” (p. 19). I strongly support a “both-and” didactic approach - teaching theology, biblical exegesis, and related courses (homiletics, isagogics, symbolics, etc.) in English (or some other LWC) as well as in a major local MT - not separately, in one or the other language, but simultaneously, employing both languages in continual alternation (verbal “dialogue”) as needed. This practice relates to passages from Acts and Revelation Wildsmith used to conclude his article. “What if Babel’s curse is removed when we sing God’s praises in a multitude of MTs that together form the heavenly language?” (p. 26).
