Belmont International English website last updated April 17, 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
.
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.
