ESL Placement
NEW Students (per AB 705 and AB 1805)
To find your ESL level, please follow these steps:
-
NEW LAMC students must first apply to the college. After you apply and receive your Student ID Number, please return to Step 2.
-
Make an appointment for Guided Self-Placement. Contact our Adult Education Counselor, Professor Brianda Alvarez at alvarebn@lamission.edu or call 818-364-7682.
NOTE: The Guided Self-Placement appointment takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes. Students complete a brief biographical survey and interview with Professor Alvarez. Students receive English/ESL placement as a result of the survey/interview. No tests! No stress! It's quick and easy! -
Register for classes.
NOTE: For more information about the ESL Program (Essential English and/or Academic English), please contact Professor Jacob Skelton at skeltolj2@lamission.edu or call (818) 364-7678.
