STARTALK APPLICATION PROCESS
Thank you for your interest in STARTALK at Queens University of Charlotte: Celebrating Chinese!
Here are a few tips before you begin:
-
Obtain the email address of a teacher who is willing to provide a brief reference for you. Without the correct email address, the teacher will not receive the reference request. Returning students do not need a teacher reference.
-
Be prepared to answer a few short answer questions about your motivation for enrolling in this program. Your responses do not need to be long.
-
If you have any prior experience learning or speaking Mandarin Chinese, be prepared to record a brief speaking sample and provide a link to your sample. If you do not know how to create a link to an audio file, please reach out to queensstartalk@gmail.com and we will help you figure it out so that you can submit your application!
