Action Language Learning: Promoting Chinese Language Through Creative Teaching Methods

Welcome to Action Language Learning

Philosophy and Mission

Action Language Learning’s mission is to assist organizations and schools, educators and individuals, to promote international and global initiatives and expand world language programs. Understanding world languages is one of the keys to cultural knowledge. At Action Language Learning we believe learners of all ages can master languages most efficiently through active methods, dynamic learning environments and stimulating materials that emphasize a multi-sensory approach and utilize all of the intelligences. Global education initiatives which include world languages should be an integral part of 21st century skills.

  “Lisa Li Urbonya, the founder of Action Language Learning, is a celebrated professional with real experience working as an educator in China. She is adept at helping educators create strong linkages between the American and Chinese education system. Her experiences bring practical possibilities for American schools to consider. I attended Lisa's presentation and it sparked the creation of an International Education Study Team. Lisa has served as a consultant to our study team and has led our learning in powerful ways. Formal recommendations have been made to form a team to investigate the feasibility of a full-immersion K-12 world language program, to expand the 6-12 world language program to include Mandarin Chinese, and to investigate the feasibility of an International Education Academy at the high school.”
