General Definition/Brief Background (Anjelica)[edit | edit source]
Eloquentia perfecta is a tradition of the Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits, that provides a new way of using multiple rhetoric learnings aimed at incorporating eloquence through ethical and rational thinking.

Eloquentia Perfecta is a Jesuit rhetoric that revolves around cultivating a person as a whole, as one learns to speak and write for the common good.

Steven Mallioux concluded that "an optimal orator would combine written and oral language concepts such as morality or ethics and intelligence."

This concept has expanded from education in Jesuit colleges and preaching this tradition and guiding Spiritual Exercises to courses in American Colleges such as Loyola Marmount University, University of San Francisco and Fordham University.

LMU's core curriculum provides a few aspects that construct Eloquentia Perfecta, the first being that "it incorporates the traditional mode of rhetoric through writing, reading, speaking, and listening. The second aspect is the remediation of this form of rhetoric in terms of adapting to the information age and it's digital elements."

Ignation Pedagogy
The Ignatius of Loyola created a document of the Spiritual Exercises, a sequence of meditations that have been utilized in universities. These spiritual practices have been around since the sixteenth century and have been more accessible to people around the world as it was published over 4,500 times. Jesuit Spiritual Exercises have been the groundwork of Ignation pedagogy, also known as the Ignation pedagogical paradigm. Ignition pedagogy, which started in 1980's, is the discipline that cultivates a person's understanding, behavior, and contemplation.
