Belmont International English website last updated March 16, 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. Spring
Break March 11-15 There will be no class on March 12 or 14. We will all be on Spring vacation. I hope you
enjoy yourselves and come back on Tuesday, March 19, refreshed and eager to study English.
School Closings due to bad weather We are approaching that time of year when we might have snow or ice or other severe weather conditions.
Our school will follow the same bad weather schedule as Nashville-Davidson County Metropolitan public schools. If Metro
schools are closed, we are closed. If Metro schools are open, we are open. The formal name of our schools is Nashville- Davidson County Metropolitan
Public Schools. On television, our schools are sometimes called Metro Schools, sometimes called Davidson County Schools, sometimes
called Nashville Schools. All these mean the same thing. If we are open, we will start on time. That is, if it is announced
that Metro schools will open one hour late, we will still open at 9 a.m. Almost all local television and radio stations
will start announcing school closings very early in the morning. You may listen to the radio or television, or you may
follow the following link to go to the web site of Weather Channel
4.

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

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.
