TLDR : Answer Summary
The question revolves around the renewal process for a language visa, which is likely referring to an Education (ED) visa. While some users suggest that it may be possible to extend a single-entry ED visa from within Thailand if requirements are met, others indicate that multiple-entry visa holders may need to leave Thailand and re-enter to renew their visa. There are also warnings about ongoing investigations related to in-country ED visa issuance, emphasizing the importance of maintaining legitimate enrollment in a school.

There's an ongoing investigation occurring from the top regarding the in country issuing of ED visas.

Imo, you best make sure you're going to school and actually learning.

If it is a single-entry ED visa it will be possible to get an extension at Immigration if you meet the requirements. If it is a multiple-entry visa, Immigration will (most likely) ask you to leave and re-enter Thailand.

Not really sure what you mean. There is no “language” visa. Perhaps you mean Ed visa. If so you’d need to speak with your school. They can advise what you need to do.
