Like courses taken in college for speakers? (5)
I believe the answer is:
eaten
'like courses taken' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'college for speakers?' is the wordplay.
'college' becomes 'eton' (Eton College, English private school).
'for speakers?' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (I've seen 'for speaker' mean this).
'eton' sounds like 'EATEN'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eaten that I've seen before include "What's taken in" , "Scoffed" , "used for food" , "corroded" , "Upset" .)
