ENGLISH LANGUAGE INSTITUTE
PROCEDURE FOR CHANGING CLASSES
For students who are mis-placed in classes, change of class or level is
permitted during the first week of the session. Changes should be made
only in those cases where it is clear that the student has been mis-placed.
Changes will be made during the faculty meeting normally held on the first
Friday of the session. A teacher who feels that a student is mis-placed should
talk with that student about changing classes.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TEACHERS: Teachers complete a Class Transfer Request Form
for each student who requests to change his/her class. Teachers must sign the
form and indicate whether the move is a promotion request or a lateral move
request. These forms must be given to Joe Matterer by 12:30 on the day of
testing. Students should never be given the forms. The forms must be
brought to the ELI by a teacher and placed in my mailbox. Please don't
rely on students to do this. Generally the students present the form
just before the start time and we are unprepared for them.
No student will be admitted to testing unless the class transfer request
form has been received Joe by 12:30 on the day of testing. Please
no not combine both L/S and R/W changes on the same form.
- Promotion Requests:
- New students wishing to change levels
- take the Michigan Aural to change L/S levels .
- take the reading test for their present level and complete
an in-class essay to change R/W levels.
- Continuing students wishing to change L/S levels take the Michigan
tests only if they did not take the test at the end of the previous
session. Test proctors will not admit students who were recently tested.
Promoted continuing students wishing-to change R/W levels must take
a reading test to be considered.
- Lateral Move Requests: Students wishing to move laterally, i.e. to another
section of the same level (IIIA to IIID, for example) or to another of the
multileveled advanced special classes (see below) do not need to take the
tests. However, the teacher must complete the class transfer request form
and give it to Joe Matterer by 12:30 on the day of testing.
Please inform the students of the procedures and of the test times and places.
This information is in your 'First Day Memo'. Level the required essay and
bring it with you to the meeting on Friday. Students who do not complete
the procedure outlined above may not make changes, and changes are discouraged
after the first week.
