values As a program administered by Lithuania Christian College, the English Language Institute adheres to the values of LCC.
  • We believe that a liberal arts education integrates learning with all aspects of life. Language learning is an important part of a liberal arts education. Foreign language education opens doors to new understandings of our global world. Students are encouraged to develop critical thinking skills and engage in discussions of universal topics and ideas, as well as language related issues.
  • We affirm a Christian worldview that invites all people to grow in truth and restoration through the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. All LCC faculty portray Christian values and practices. LCC admits students regardless of religious orientation, color, creed, or class. However, English language classes are focused on language learning and not religious education. In no way does the program or its faculty seek to overtly promote religious or theological convictions. We recognize and respect the diversity of religious faiths of the students.
  • We value community as a safe place where people are respected, and empowered, so that their dignity is upheld. Language learning is difficult and personally challenging. Teachers attempt to create an atmosphere of mutual respect and support in the classroom where language learning is fostered in a healthy environment.
  • We pursue relationships that are mutual, authentic and based on trust. The faculty model and build relationships that are honest, cooperative, and faithful to their tasks their task and their students.
  • We celebrate diversity of culture and traditions, personalities and opinions. Sometime in language classes, discussions are held in which there are diverse opinions. Teachers need to be aware of and sensitive to such issues. Teachers advocate that students learn positive listening skills and respect for others. Learning about our world community often involves developing a life long sense of awareness and sensitivity.
