Action Language provides free English lessons to people seeking asylum, refugees, and other migrants unable to access mainstream classes. We have a mix of online Zoom classes and lessons in our classrooms in Newcastle and Sunderland.
Low level learners can have one lesson online and one lesson in-person each week. Higher level learners will have one online lesson each week only. This is to help us keep some social distancing in the classrooms and keep everyone safe.

Please remember, our classes are for people who cannot attend colleges – if you have classes at college, you cannot join Action Language too; we need to have space in classes for people with no other English classes.

Erasmus+ Projects
Critical Skills for Life and Work (CSLW)
Action Foundation is working on this two year Erasmus+ funded project from 2017-2019. The project aims to design and implement effective training tools for enhancing key skills and competences of (a) highly-skilled refugees and (b) the language teachers who work with them, and so enhance the employability and societal integration of skilled refugees. The final result will be toolkits for teachers and learners, created in collaboration with our learners and volunteers, and our European partners.
Linguacuisine
Action Foundation worked with the Workers’ Educational Association (WEA) and three universities on Linguacuisine, an Erasmus+ project to create an app promoting language learning through cooking. Our language learners co-designed the website and created recipes in a variety of languages (including English!), which can then be used to aid learning as well as create delicious meals!
Action Language is grateful for the support of
“It was the best opportunity for me to come to the English classes and the teacher was very friendly and I am meeting new people. I think that I am improving my English and my normal life. I think it’s very different because before I started coming to the English class I was very frustrated because I don’t have nothing to do at all. Nothing! So when I started coming I started to feel more happy and more smiling, yes. It was a very good improvement.”
