Using a coding

mindset to support
creative English
language learning

creative tasks, investigation, projects, and experiments. Stories and
videos provide motivating opportunities to learn skills for bright
futures. Coding, problem solving, math, and collaborative skills all
feature in a syllabus that includes built-in STEAM, driving learners’
natural curiosity about the world around them. A clear focus on

4
functional language gives learners the tools to become effective
and confident speakers of English inside and outside the classroom.

• Integrated future skills focus on creativity and problem solving

• Coding strand is introduced through code cracker tasks
• STEAM syllabus with hands-on experiments
• Audiovisual materials include phonics, grammar, and
STEAM videos

English Code is built on GSE learning objectives, which help to

monitor and measure progress throughout the course.

To search for food and a drink.

To wake me up early, I think.

And gave me a wink.
