Speaking and Grammar

There are no assessment tests for enrollment in AMLA speaking and one-unit grammar classes, and any Mt. SAC student who is registered for credit classes may take them.

However, due to the level of course content, students wishing to enroll in AMLA 24 (Idiomatic English) are advised to be eligible for AMLA 80 (Intermediate Writing), and students wishing to enroll in AMLA 23 (Formal Speaking) are advised to be eligible for AMLA 90 (Advanced Writing).
