GOLOSA: Elementary Russian Textbook? Help!

[Richard Robin]

Dear SEELANGers,

On Golosa teachers' materials: Completed applications come to my inbox. I
usually get to them in a day or two. But the forms must be complete. If
someone fills out a teacher's form and does not include the required
information showing that the applicant teaches at a college or high school
in a Russian program or that the department chair teaches in a language
program and can verify someone's status. (Those are the lines asking for
URLs). If those lines are left blank, the system generates a message back t
the user saying that the form needs to be complete.

Completed forms are forwarded to me. (Uncompleted forms bounce back to the
user.) If the applicant's website shows the applicant as a teacher of
Russian, then I add the user to the list and e-mail back to the user the
necessary credentials.

If the user's name is not listed on a website, but the user provided me with
a supervisor's e-mail (and URL listing to prove that that person actually
works there), I then e-mail the supervisor and cc that message to the
applicant. Once I get the conformation that the applicant teaches Russian, I
then issue a password.

Occasionally, an e-mail goes astray. This happened with one of the people
who wrote to SEELANGs, and I am now correcting that situation.

Sincerely,
Richard Robin
