English Australia

Where can I study to improve my verbal English here in Canberra Australia?
Is there Australian Government Program for the Immigrants to Study and Improve their English? I almost 1 year working in Canberra, Australia but still I’m not improving my verbal English. I am planning to take IELTS by next year for my Sponsor Permanent Resident visa requirement. Do you know what ESL means? Where can I get Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) in Canberra Australia? They said AMEP is cheaper to study English Language.
I will be grateful for your answer.
ESL means “English as a Second Language”.
You can find AMEP courses in TAFE colleges near Canberra. Queanbeyan is the closest one. This is the address of the Department of Immigration page about the AMEP program http://www.immi.gov.au/living-in-australia/help-with-english/amep/learning-english/
I think that you may not be eligible for free AMEP courses but you should check this with Queanbeyan TAFE College as they will also be able to tell you about other options for improving your English.
Improving your spoken English will take practice and the best way to do this is going to be to socialize and speak with people who speak English as a first language. This might be at somewhere like a sports club or a community volunteer group. You could also try something like ‘Toastmasters” clubs which are groups which teach people how to speak in public – it teaches you techniques to give you confidence about speaking to groups and gives you rules for how to make a formal speech. This would be hard to start with . You could start with this site http://www.canberracitytoastmasters.org.au/
