NEW PROGRAM!
MASTERS IN APPLIED LINGUISTICS (ALP)
ASCM also announces the start of the new Masters in Applied Linguistics program May 2!. This one year intensive training program is designed to produce language workers with the knowledge and skill to understand the process of language learning and development among Unreached People Groups (UPG) and Bibleless People Groups.
The ASCM Applied Linguistics Program (ALP) is offered in partnership with the Wycliffe Philippines and the Wycliff family of organizations; The Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) and the Translators Association of the Philippines (TAP).
The Masters in Applied Linguistics equips and enables the student to work with sensitivity alongside members of another culture, learn to speak unwritten languages, develop practical writing systems, record and describe the sound system, the grammar, and the lexicon of a language, as well as do ethnographic research and apply it to language development.
The student will promote mother-tongue literacy and the development of ongoing literacy programs, assist an ethnic group and government agencies in planning and executing language development strategies, facilitate production of a body of literature in the indigenous language (such as educational literature, folk histories and legends, a dictionary, grammatical description, the Bible, and health manuals), and pass on the above skills to others, especially to the speakers of the indigenous languages.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
- Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution
- English Proficiency Examination (EPE)

From the President
We are so very excited about the two new Masters level programs that God has helped ASCM develop which are starting in 2011. The Master of Social Work (MSW) degree will equip the church with the skills and tools needed to effectively and professionally take holistic ministry to the community and the world. As licensed social workers, our students will be able to bring true transformation to children, youth, and families with the love of Jesus Christ. The Masters in Applied Linguistics (ALP) program will open amazing new doors to Unreached People Groups (UPG) and Bibleless People Groups across Asia as our students are trained as language workers who will engage in Bible Translation, Language Development, Multi-Lingual Education (MLE), and Ethnoarts.
As the world continues to change at an increasingly faster rate with each passing year, the missional church must find new, creative, and effective ways to train workers to fulfill the Great Commission. With the addition of these new programs, the Lord is leading ASCM on the forefront of holistic and transformational ministry in Asia and beyond. We thank God for all that He is doing through ASCM! May the Lord continue to bless you abundantly for your ongoing support of this vital regional school! Please keep us in your prayers.
Scott C. Rains President
