Advancement:
At the end of each four week cycle, a student may pass to the next level if he/she has a grade average of 70% and an attendance average of 80%. If the student's grade average is below 70%, he/she will need to repeat the level. If the student's attendance is below 80%, he/she will need to repeat the level. The student's grade is determined by averaging five skill areas: an average of the grammar chapter test grades, the final listening assessment, the final speaking assessment, the final reading assessment and the final writing assessment.
Certificates & Evaluations:
All students who complete their program are awarded a certificate of attendance at the end of their studies. All students are continuously evaluated and an evaluation report is available at the end of the studies. In order to qualify to receive a certificate of attendance or an evaluation from ILI, a student must maintain attendance of at least 80%.
