CELEA News

Welcome to the new CELEA website!  This is the “home” of the Christian English Language Educators Association (CELEA).  We have been in existence for 25 years in various forms – first as the informal Christian Educators in TESOL group which formed in 1984 at the Houston TESOL convention.  We were then the Christian Educators in TESOL Caucus (CETC) from 1996 until 2008.  Now we are an independent organization.  Consider CELEA to be your professional organization – to network with other educators who share a belief in Jesus Christ and to be a resource center for those involved in ESL – both at the professional and volunteer level.  I am so thankful for this organization over the past years as it has provided networking and support.  I am excited about the future and for all the potential it holds for the growth of CELEA

You are invited to participate in a research project entitled: The Impacts of Christian ESL Teachers' Religious Beliefs. The purpose of this research project is to explore the possible impacts of Christian English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers' religious beliefs on their teaching philosophies, pedagogical commitments, curricular choices, cultivation of student relationships, and general classroom behaviors.

Language and Faith:
Empirical Studies on Christianity and Language Learning and Teaching

There has been an increased interest in exploring the relationship of faith and language teaching and learning over the past decade as practitioners and scholars in various parts of the world have begun a discussion about the possible role and impact of a teacher’s and students’ faith in the language classroom. The proposed volume intends to continue this exploration by adding a data-based research dimension to the topic. The editors have been part of language teaching conferences and publications where such discussion has occurred, and would like to invite colleagues from every area of applied linguistics and language teaching to contribute to this anthology to be published by an international publisher. At this stage we are calling for statements of intention by potential contributors (accompanied by a short abstract – see below) so that we can prepare a book proposal in order to formally approach publishers.
