Using a coding
mindset to support
creative English
language learning
In English Code, language learning takes place through hands-on
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
functional language gives learners the tools to become effective
and confident speakers of English inside and outside the classroom.
Grammar Book
• 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.
