Migrant Language Unit

SuniTAFE's Migrant Language Unit provides English language tuition to adults from non-English speaking backgrounds. These English as a Second Language (ESL) classes are provided at various levels. They help students develop English language skills for survival needs, community access and enhanced employment opportunities.

Adults who have recently migrated to Australia, have a permanent visa and speak little or no English may be eligible to receive 510 hours of free language training. This is part of the Australian Government's Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP). Applicants must register for a class within three months of coming to Australia and start a class within one year. Please see SuniTAFE's [link]AMEP page[/link] for more information.

SuniTAFE also has a Volunteer Home Tutor program to help new migrants learn English. Anyone who can speak English well can volunteer their time to help an AMEP enrolled migrant to learn English. Volunteers receive free training to help them tutor new migrants.

Migrants who have completed the AMEP course, or who are not eligible for it, may apply to be part of the Language, Literacy and Numeracy Program (LLNP). Please see SuniTAFE's [link]LLNP page[/link] for more information.
