China Teachers Program Application

The first part of December 2008 Lugene and I sent our applications to Brigham Young University to participate in the China Teachers Program. The program is sponsored by the David M. Kennedy Center for International Studies. BYU has established relationships with 19 Universities in China to provide them with English teachers. The teachers can teach grammar, conversation, writing, literature, etc.

Lugene and I had talked of doing this for sometime. I had always wanted to teach English as a second language and this seemed to be a good way to do it. We thought this would be a unique and exciting way to serve.

We were invited to interview with Brother and Sister Andrus, the couple in charge of the program, on Tuesday, January 6. The interview went well. They said our applications looked good and that we would probably be considered for the program. They said that final decisions on who would be recommended would not be made until March.
