The Adult Education English as a Second Language (AESL) Certificate of Competency Intermediate Level is designed for students to demonstrate intermediate English skills. The goal of this level is to build reading, writing, listening, speaking, grammar, and vocabulary skills so that students can communicate in everyday situations. Emphasis will be on creative oral language, initial critical thinking skills in reading comprehension and performing communicative written tasks as well as beginning academic writing. To enroll in these courses, students demonstrate the competencies from the AESL Beginning certificate, or have taken beginning level courses; however, there are no enrollment limitations or prerequisites for these courses. Students who complete AESL 703 Beginning High and AESL 704 Intermediate Low with a passing noncredit grade of P in each course are eligible for the AESL Certificate of Competency Intermediate. Students who earn the AESL Certificate of Competency Intermediate are eligible to take AESL Citizenship (AESL 708), and may be prepared to enter the Saddleback College ESL Program or CTE job preparation program.
