Belmont International English website last updated May 15, 2019.
Welcome to our website
This
site has been created as a medium for teachers and adult students of English for speakers of other languages to use to share experiences. It is designed primarily
for intermediate to advanced students and their teachers. We have a very congenial group from many different countries. In the front row are our wonderful volunteers.
Next to me is Sherry Loller, then Joyce Eyler, Ellen McPherson, Joan Nicoll, Irene Boyd, and Sally Tiven. On the
end is Jinjing Meng, our associate teacher from Peabody.
We work hard, but we have fun, too.
Language is an integral part of life, and we enjoy working together, playing together and talking together
.
It's Vacation Time! We are now on summer vacation. There will be no classes until we resume on Tuesday, September
3. You may register for the fall semester at any time, but I will not be checking my email regularly until toward
the end of summer, so I will not be able to respond to you promptly. Even if you were in my class for the
spring semester, I would appreciate it if you would register again. If you are not sure that you would fit in my class for moderately advanced students, I recommend
that you register in person at the Belmont United Methodist Church, 2007 Acklen Ave., in Hillsboro Village, August 27-29
from 9 to 11 am. You can take a placement test to see which class would best serve your needs. Please do not register
both on line and in person. Register either place, but not both.
Various topics are
discussed on the pages of this site. To find the topic you are interested in and to download material, click on the "Topics" heading in the navigation bar in the upper left corner of this page.

About Belmont International English
An English language school
for international students has been in operation at the Belmont United Methodist Church since 1966. Through the generosity
of the church members, around four thousand students from many countries have been helped to improve their proficiency in English and
their understanding of American culture. We welcome new students. We work hard, but we have fun, too.
