The Worst-Case Scenarios

All three scenarios were thoughtful and well made up by Mary Wong. Even though these three scenarios are not specifically real they for the most part represent the majority of Christian instructors teaching internationally, First, the scenario of Elizabeth, which is labeled as the “worst-case scenario” entered a country supposedly “to teach” with the objective to evangelize. As a Christian believer I have two different types of views on Elizabeth’s actions-spiritually and as a professional. In the spirit sense-her desire to evangelize is stronger than to grow in the teaching career. It is very difficult to judge Elizabeth through the spiritual lens. She is not trying to harm anyone instead to share the gospel. On the other hand, my professional
Peter is undoable different than Matilda. Unlike Matilda, Peter “is a qualified and experienced teacher seeking to learn from the local teacher who he views as reservoirs of cultural knowledge” (p. 97). I feel like Peter does not feel the calling to evangelize instead to grow in his profession. He seems to aim for teaching before sharing the gospel-is he wrong?

I plan to teach and learn from them, but not convert them to my Christian faith. pedagogy-Unlike Elizabeth, I believe like Peter on the importance on “encouraging an exploration of code missing and switching” (p. 97). I plan to have students speak in their native language, however it will be limited and not impeded. Also, they are welcome to bring up religious topics as long as it is to learn about each other’s belief and not to judge or to convert. interactions-On the same note as Matilda and Peter’s is where I stand. Both Matilda and Peter had a similar response. Interaction outside of class with the community and other teachers is important. Therefore, I strive to interact with “expatriate and local colleagues in a number…” to learn from the language and
