Marianne Quirino Batista Gimenez
Peacemaking and ESL Through the Lens of Christianity
Session 4 on Saturday, March 12, from 2:15-2:45PM (PT)
The harmony in the ESL classroom can be impaired by conflictual interactions among students and even teachers. Political rivalry, communication styles, and cultural misconceptions are factors that contribute to the issue negatively. Therefore, it is necessary to raise discussions about the teacher’s role as a peacemaker from a Christian perspective.
Mariane Gimenez is a teacher originally from Brazil who is currently attending a Master's in TESOL program at Moody Theological Seminary and teaching ESL in the suburbs of Chicago. Her position as a language instructor for students from different countries has raised within her an awareness to reconcile learners through the ministry of peace education in cross-cultural settings.
