Established in 2014, Language in Action is passionate about helping our students put their language skills to good use, by giving them unique learning experiences at our schools across the UK.Students are placed in positions where they actively use their knowledge and communication skills in real-life situations, and students feel a sense of reward at using language taught in the classroom. With our programmes, students gain so much more than classroom learning. Our students gain life experience, and a deeper understanding of the culture of the UK.As part of Malvern International, Language in Action is perfectly placed to offer exciting and dynamic study experiences inside and outside the classroom.
