The goal of this Teacher’s Guide is to provide you as the instructor with the kind of help you need in order to teach Exploring Theological English, Student Textbook more effectively. This includes addressing the need for instruction in Theological English, helping you in planning and implementing instruction that is appropriate for your students’ needs, and giving chapter-by-chapter teaching suggestions and an answer key for all exercises.
