First Day at School
All new students begin their course on Monday mornings. Students staying in host family accommodation will receive directions how to get to school by their host family on the first morning. Students without host family accommodation will have received their school details before their arrival and should make their own way to the school for 0845.
Testing
On the first day at inlingua Cheltenham, students are given a test to determine their current level of English. The test consists of multiple choice questions and/or a written paper and a one-to-one interview to check the speaking level.
Students are then placed in a class at an appropriate level. Students are monitored closely and constantly by their teachers to ensure that they are always at the correct learning level.
Orientation
On the first day, students are given a tour of the school and town centre, pointing out areas of interest and importance.
Self Study (Free Every Weekday 1515-1645)
On certain afternoons between 1515-1645 inlingua Cheltenham offers a teacher led Self-Study session in our Learning Centre. The teacher is there to help the students with their homework or to explain some aspects of the class lesson they had difficulty with. This service is free and available to all students.
