The Certificate of Achievement in English for Multilingual Students—Level 3: Advanced Academic Oral Communication Skills prepares English Language learners (ELLs) for the academic rigor of transfer-level Communication Studies coursework. This 10-unit certificate consists of two out of three sequential courses: Academic Listening and Speaking I (ENGM V01L) or Academic Listening and Speaking II (ENGM V02L) , and Academic Listening and Speaking III (ENGM V03L), typically completed over two semesters. Through this sequence, students develop advanced post-secondary academic listening and speaking skills essential for college success.

The certificate provides a solid foundation for college courses requiring extensive active listening, debate, discussion, and presentations while promoting personal growth. These advanced oral skills are also valuable assets for professional communication across many career fields. Students can refer to the ESL Guided Self-Placement and work with an academic counselor before beginning the certificate program.
