Full Year Program Application

If you would like to apply for the Jinjiang Summer Program for Teachers, please see the JSP information page.

Thank you for your interest in participating in our 2012-2013 Full Year Program (FYP).

By now we imagine you have carefully read through the FYP information , and have contacted CCC with any questions you may have had.

You will need to do the following to complete your application:

  1. Fill out all the fields of the form below; we do need a fax number. Go to Kinkos or other office store to set up a fax account if you don't have access to a machine.
  2. Submit the form.
  3. Email alice@asiacouncil.org the following digital documents.
    • a high-resolution, easy-to-read scanned color copy of the picture page of your passport (JPEG, GIF or PDF format). View an example passport picture page.
    • a resume (DOC format only):
      • Do not put your address or contact information on your resume since all correspondence goes directly through the Council.
      • The resume should be one to two pages long, specifically focused on teaching English in China. At the top put "Objective: To Teach in China". These are very competitive positions. Emphasize educational background and teaching, including tutoring, public speaking or seminar teaching.
      • MENTION: languages; international travel; honors, musical and sports interests, activities and computer skills, etc.
      • DO NOT MENTION: volunteer work, political work of a controversial nature, construction, waitress work, bartending, or paid/volunteer positions held which do not relate in any way to these teaching positions. Include dates for university attendance and employment. Avoid being technical. View example resumes from a female client and a male one.
    • official, university-generated transcripts. All Chinese universities require transcripts (PDF).
    • copy of your diploma(s) (PDF). No matter what age you are the universities will still want a copy of all college diplomas. Diplomas must be sized to 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper and they must be a copy of the original. We cannot accept photos of framed diplomas.
  4. Two letters of recommendation—essentially character references, on letterhead—from employers, professors, or a family doctor (Microsoft Word-compatible formats [DOC, DOCX, RTF] or PDF format). They may arrive up to two weeks after the other documents. Letters from personal friends are not acceptable. These letters should state how long the person has known you, in what capacity and specifically what they think of you as a person and your ability to work in a very difficult, challenging environment as a teacher and how successful they think you will be from their past observations of you.
  5. One official color visa size photo of yourself (JPEG, GIF or PDF) which will also be submitted to the university for their official documents. Go to Kinkos or some place that specializes in official visa/passport photos. You will also need to take 10 visa/passport photos with you to China.

    6. You must also send ALL the above documents in hard copy by mail to the address found on our contact page. Your application will NOT be reviewed until we have received all of your documents.

    YOU HAVE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAKING SURE THAT CCC HAS RECEIVED ALL OF THE ABOVE DOCUMENTATION BY E-MAIL AND SNAIL MAIL IN A TIMELY MANNER!

  6. Procedure for program fee payments: The $100 non-refundable application-processing fee per person (NOT including children) is due with your applications. You may use a major credit card to pay this fee via Paypal, a popular website that allows you to easily and securely pay your application fee online. After submitting your application, you will receive an email with a link directing you to a PayPal page, where you will enter in your credit card information in order to pay the fee. You must pay $100 for each adult member of your party. If you prefer, you may also send a check to the mailing address found on our contact page.

    Half of all additional fees are due ten days after receiving CCC's official acceptance letter. If we do not hear from you within ten days we will assume you have decided not to attend our program. Balance of fees is due ninety days after receiving the acceptance letter, or by July 15, which ever comes first.
