How to fill the application form

Most of the questions on the application form request information about you, your command of the language, your experience as a teacher and the level to which you have pursued your studies.

We want to know who is a teacher and who is a student. That is an important bit of information for us, and it makes a difference on what emphasis we give certain aspects of the Institute.

We also want to know the kind of school where you work, the technology that you have available, and your own level of computer literacy. Again, this is information that will help us plan the Institute better.

Your essay is a substancial part of the application, so please work on it carefully. We want to know what your command of written Spanish is, and your essay will give us material for evaluating your application.

If you are a teacher, we would like to receive a letter from your Principal in support of your application.

If you are a graduate student, we would like to receive a letter from one of your supervisors in support of your application.

Finally, your transcript is also substantive information that will help us decide on your application.

If you are currently or have been in the recent past a registered graduate student at CCSU, we do not need to receive a transcript or a letter of support.

In brief, your application will not be either approved or rejected on the basis of your working at a bigger or smaller school or one that has better computer access than another. However, that information is helpful for us in deciding how to organize our teaching material. On the other hand, your command of the language, the kind of support you get from your supervisors, and your grades will be considered closely when deciding on your application.
