This module will focus on the reading of specific New Testament texts, beginning with Mark, with a view to developing translation skills and an ability to appreciate the grammatical forms and flow of the passages concerned. Attention will be given to particular grammatical and syntactical forms, in such a way that students will be able to summarize the major usages. The teaching will involve reading and discussing texts together, seeing how they work, learning vocabulary and grammar as we go along. As in all language study, learning is cumulative; each class building upon what has been learned in the preceding ones.
On completion of the unit students should be able to:
The teaching will be through 30 class hours. For the first part of the course 1 John will be studied. Students will be expected to prepare portions of text each week, and to learn vocabulary and grammatical forms.
Formative assessment will be participation in, and preparation for, classes.
Summative assessment will be through three one-hour tests, one after each third of the unit.
