WHO ARE WE?
Our Language Centers are located in San Francisco, Corte Madera and San Rafael. We offer immersion programs in
Spanish and Mandarin to children ages 18 months through 3rd grade.
We teach children naturally through play, games, arts, songs, drama, books and
cooking. Kids
learn at an incredibly fast rate and we give them the opportunity to do so in
a fun, natural way!
Our name, Language in Action, identifies our opinion that children learn best
through the variety of activities that they enjoy in daily life – art,
song, dance, games and conversation. A recent
article on the topic says it best:
“Kids soak up language by osmosis… particularly when it’s
taught through a variety of activities. After all, that is the way we learn
our own language.”
We teach children for a simple reason: linguistic researchers have identified
a clear “window of opportunity” between the ages of 18 months and
10 years during which learning a language comes easiest. This is where early
childhood language experience develops as a skill that is likely to stick with
children for life.

OUR
GOAL
Our goal is for children to speak a second language at an early age, and for
them to have the opportunity to use their skills regularly in a supportive environment.
Language in Action offers an experience that forms the foundation for
the development of new language skills. We open a world of opportunity for every
student long after they have parted our doors. Our classroom
structure fosters each student’s unique strengths and challenges them
at appropriate levels to discover the joy of learning a language. We are committed
to maintaining an environment that stimulates, challenges and creates curiosity, while developing self awareness and respect
for others.
OUR TEACHERS
Our teachers are native speakers who love teaching children. They
are also professionals in other fields, with impressive skills as artists, dancers,
singers, storytellers and educational specialists. This broad experience contributes
to our creative learning environment. Our internal development program encourages
them to share their most successful classroom ideas with each other. A cultural
aspect emphasis is integrated with the curriculum including native dance, art,
traditions, and foods.
WE
MAKE LEARNING LANGUAGE FUN!
