EML Placement

The EML Placement Evaluation is for non-native speakers of English who want to take college-credit English for Multilingual Learners (EML) classes at STLCC. The evaluation helps place students in the right EML course level before they register.

If you are a beginner English learner or want free English classes for daily life and work, English as a Second Language (ESL) may be a better place to start.

The EML placement evaluation includes:

  1. A writing sample.
  2. The ESL ACCUPLACER test.
  3. An interview.

Please note that you must complete the writing sample and ESL ACCUPLACER before you can do your interview.
