Dear Hiring Manager,

As a Chinese Lecturer with 3 years of experience in university, college, and private settings, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity. 

I am currently the Lecturer of Chinese Language & Culture at the University of Sunnybank in Florida, where I teach undergraduate Cantonese for Business and Chinese Literature: Ancient and Modern. Due to the global pandemic, I have been lecturing, assessing, and grading online (either asynchronously with assignments posted and lectures videoed or synchronously in real-time Zoom meetings), or in-person whenever circumstances enable this.

In addition to my experience and fluency in Cantonese and Mandarin, I hold an MA in Chinese - Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages (MATCSOL) and a B.Ed. (Chinese Language Education). I am committed to continual professional development, as demonstrated in my CV. 

My current role is very stimulating, and I find great fulfilment in such a wonderful environment. My decision to seek a new position is solely based on our family’s decision to relocate. As such, I aspire to a similarly amazing opportunity where I may make a meaningful contribution to the Chinese language program. After researching your institution in detail, I feel confident about our mutual fit.

Please find attached my curriculum vitae for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you regarding my application.

Yours sincerely,

Julia Wall
