Crosland, Matthew E. 2018. “Language Program Planning: A Culturally Appropriate Model” Fuller Theological Seminary, School of Intercultural Studies. Doctor of Intercultural Studies. 194 pp.
The history of Bible translation has largely been a story of a work done for a language community. Over the last three decades there has been a remarkable shift in that story. There has been a dramatic increase in the number of Mother Tongue Translators who have stepped up to respond to the critical need for scriptures in their own languages. God is working through these devoted translators to reach their people with His word.
Though there has been a significant shift in the cultural makeup of translators there has been very little shift in the Western linear approach to translation that has been a part of this history. This research recognizes that there are cultural and cognitive differences in the way Western and Papua New Guinean translators approach these sorts of tasks. It engages Papua New Guinean translators in a guided process to change how they approach one portion of the translation process, language program planning. The result is a Melanesian Language Program Planning course which teaches the students how to use their own cultural frameworks to successfully plan and carry out their language program.
