LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES

LEARNING ENGLISH

There are several English language programs available in the US which cater to adults and children with varying competency levels. For adults, there are two programs available depending on your level of English language ability. The Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) is targeted at recent arrivals in the US with a basic level of English, while the Advanced English for Migrants Program (AEMP) is suitable for permanent residents who are seeking employment in the US and possess a sound (above basic) level of English.

For children, there are a number of programs within the school system. The government's "English as a second language - new arrivals" scheme assists primary and secondary school students who require intensive language instruction. Schools also have special programs to help classroom teachers with the English language needs of these children.
