2011-03-08 Teaching English in Xi'an China


We received the following e-mail from BYU International Studies:

Dear Tom and Paula,

Congratulations!
You have been recommended by Brigham Young University’s China Teachers Program to teach at Northwest Polytechnical University in Xi’an, China, for the academic year 2011-2012.

We are optimistic that the university will accept you. Many careful hours have been spent studying applications, working with our contacts in China, and visiting with potential teachers in order to match them with the needs of each Chinese university.

Now that you have been recommended, we will await the decision of the Chinese University to accept you. They will let us know of their decision us via email, hopefully by April 30th.

Update 3-10-2011: We have been accepted to teach in Xi'an, but our friends, the Thelers, were not. We had hoped to go together, but they expect to be placed in Beijing.
