English Code is a 7-level course for learners ages 6-12 that teaches English through hands-
on creative tasks, investigation, projects and experiments.
Children develop a coding mindset, problem solving, and collaborative skills. These all
feature in a syllabus that includes built-in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art,
Math), driving learners’ natural curiosity about the world around them.

Features

The coding mindset encourages students to experiment and teaches them resilience,
collaboration and problem-solving from the domain of computational thinking.

Creativity helps students to develop their creative potential through hands-on activities,
exposing students to a variety of arts, and encouraging students to think and work
imaginatively.

STEAM lessons in each unit enables students to learn English through a subject: science,

technology, engineering, art and design, and math (STEAM). This helps with engagement
as well as enabling students to consolidate their knowledge across subjects. There are
videos on each subject to extend the lesson.

Project-work inspires and focuses the learning from the very start and gives students a
sense of control and direction in their learning journey.

Critical thinking activities help students to develop their critical thinking skills by
providing opportunities for students to collect and identify evidence, create arguments,
identify strengths and weaknesses, and suggest opportunities for improvement.

Collaboration provides students with a variety of opportunities to develop their
presentation and listening skills and helps them build confidence in speaking English
through engaging group activities.
