Learn English with the Adult Migrant English Program The Adult Migrant English ProgramEnglish is Australia’s national language. People in Australia speak many languages, but to participate fully in Australian life you need to learn to speak and understand English. Without English, you will find it hard to access important services and to become independent. You will need to know how to speak English if you wish to become an Australian citizen. To help you learn English, you may be able to attend the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP). What is AMEP?AMEP is funded by the Australian Government and provides up to 510 hours of free English language lessons to eligible migrants and humanitarian entrants. If you have been granted a permanent visa or eligible temporary visa and speak little or no English, you may be eligible for AMEP. Some migrant youths aged between 15 and 17 years of age may also be eligible. In an AMEP class, you will learn English language skills and information about Australian society. You will meet other new arrivals, with similar backgrounds, experiences and goals, and you may make new friends. All of these together will help you and your family settle successfully in Australia. English language skills are also very important if you wish to work in Australia. AMEP is delivered by approved service providers with classes taught by teachers who are trained to teach English to speakers of other languages.
You have five years from your date of arrival in Australia or visa commencement date to learn English through AMEP. You may be eligible for additional lessons depending on your needs. Your service provider will help you choose a class that will best suit your needs to help ensure the best possible result for you. There are full-time and part-time classes at different times and in different places so you can learn when and where it suits you. What if I can’t go to class?If you can’t get to your class, speak to your AMEP service provider. The service provider may be able to help you to learn English with a home tutor or online with AMEP teacher assisted distance learning. 1You can also learn at your own pace using the free distance learning tool at www.amepdl.net.au. These free lessons are available to everyone (not just AMEP clients) to help them learn English. |
