Second Language Learnerhood Among Cross-Cultural Field Workers, Thor Andrew Sawin Jan 2013

It is also multi-sited, tracing learnerhood across an assemblage of interconnected nodes. Field workers' learnerhoods are shaped by two larger ideologies of language learning which interact across the nodes of and individual trajectories through Love the World. One ideology, rooted in academic tradition, developmental second language acquisition and modernist missiological theory, valorizes the individual learner …

Development Of A Marketing Plan To Increase Enrollment At Windward Islands School Of Evangelism, With Plans For Implementation And Evaluation, Simeon Norton

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

The problem under investigation was the low enrollment at the Windward Islands School of Evangelism (WISE), although WISE offers full scholarship to all applicants who are accepted. After 21 years of existence in the Caribbean, and offering a program with assistance that no other institution in the region offers, the student enrollment at WISE ought to be higher than what it has been. The purpose of this project was to develop a marketing plan that will render assistance to the alleviation of the problem of low student enrollment at WISE.

Five research questions guided this Applied Dissertation. First, "What are …

A Study Of The "Grassroots Integrated Development Agency" In Uganda, John B. D. Kakembo Jan 1997

A Study Of The "Grassroots Integrated Development Agency" In Uganda, John B. D. Kakembo

Doctor of Ministry Projects

Problem

When poverty in Uganda deepened due to the miseries and destabilization caused by economic mismanagement, turbulent politics, and the incessant civil wars in Uganda up to 1985, all public, private, and religious organizations were adversely affected. At the end of 1985, conditions in the Seventh-day Adventist church were characterized by massive poverty among its rural membership, a slow church-growth annual rate of 4.9 percent--the lowest tithe per capita in the Eastern Africa Division (EAD)--and the lowest remuneration scales for pastors in the EAD. In 1986, an indigenous, grassroots organization sprouted in the SDA church under the leadership of a …
