They also address other language-related human problems in the United States and abroad, such as language teaching, literacy, social aspects of language use, and translation. Students majoring in intercultural studies, education, English, modern languages, and biblical languages may especially benefit from the specialized training, but the courses and minor are open to all. Summer Institute of Linguistics at Biola The Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) at Biola is associated with the Department of Applied Linguistics &TESOL. This collaboration means that experienced instructors who have served with Wycliffe Bible Translators cooperate in teaching a range of courses including language analysis, language use, and Bible translation. These courses are equivalent to those offered at other SIL schools, and are recognized as valid for membership in Wycliffe and other mission organizations. Depending on expected field of service and specialty, some students, however, may need to take additional courses at Biola or other SIL summer programs to meet all their SIL training requirements. TESOL Mission & Learning Outcomes English has become the most widely used language in the world today and there is great demand for trained professionals to teach with integrity. Opportunities for service include working in North America with immigrants, refugees, and international students, as well as working around the world. Students preparing for short term missions as well as those seeking careers in adult education may take one or more TESOL courses. The courses are especially appropriate for students majoring in intercultural studies, education, English, and modern languages, but are open to all.
