The Board of Trustees for the Graduate Institute of Applied Linguistics recently met to discuss and recommend a number of new plans for the school that will continue to enable GIAL to educate and train students for a future in linguistics, Bible translation, Scripture use and literacy around the world.


At the meeting in January, the Board moved to approve the Graduate Certificate in Multicultural Teamwork, with courses beginning in Fall 2009. Additionally, the board adopted the vision for a greatly expanded GIAL to provide significantly more trained graduates. This vision incorporates four components, including a greatly-expanded student body, an emphasis on distance education, the establishment of a Language Research Park and programs to provide many more colleagues trained to function at consultant levels by expanding the educational programs being offered by GIAL.


Please join the faculty, staff and the board of trustees as they prayerfully consider the next steps in these exciting endeavors.
