Dear  Course Organizers,



I am applying for enrolment in your course Global Education – Opportunities and Challenges, which
will start on March 26, 2009 in Prague, Cambridge University Education Centre.


My name is Cornelia Brown and currently I am working as an English teacher at Language Centre of
Munich University. I teach pre-graduate and postgraduate students at the School of Environmental
Studies, University Munich;  altogether  I have been teaching English for 10 years.


Apart from the above mentioned I have recently been involved in a project work while designing and
organizing a university course devoted to Scientific Writing. The students of this course are
doctoral students of different backgrounds and fields such as environmental and development
studies, human geography and sociology. Our focus in the course is to present the main
characteristics of written as well as spoken discourse. The topics dealt with in the course will
predominantly concern a number of global issues.


After having read the seminar outline, I believe that in the course of my work I will be able to
draw largely on the ideas and issues presented during the event. I have already attended your
seminar “Global Issues in ELT“ in September 2008, which you successfully organized here in Munich.
I remember a very well organized workshop with a vast amount of innovative, inspirational and
enriching input.


I would like to learn more on how to treat various global topics, which in effect should improve my
insight into the issues themselves as well as into the appropriate and effective teaching
techniques.


Thank you very much for considering my request.


Yours sincerely,


Cornelia Brown
