Code and Communicate is designed for individuals looking to improve their coding skills while enhancing their technical English proficiency.

Sessions explore the language used in programming environments, enabling students to understand coding documentation, communicate effectively with developers, and navigate coding platforms in English. Through practical coding exercises, students will learn key programming terminology, read and write technical instructions, and engage in discussions about coding concepts. The course also incorporates problem-solving and project-based learning, helping students build both their coding abilities and their confidence in using English in the tech industry.

During the course, all students also participate in Core English classes, focusing on building and developing fundamental language and grammar skills.

Themes covered in these classes include:

  • Introduction to coding

  • Setting up your project environment

  • Variables and data types

  • Loops and conditionals

  • Functions and problem solving

  • Working with external libraries

  • Collaborating in teams

COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH

Our primary emphasis is on enhancing speaking abilities and ensuring effective communication in both social and academic contexts. Through lively discussions, roleplaying, and presentations, students will practise real-life conversations that build confidence and fluency.

LANGUAGE SKILLS

While speaking is at the core of this course, we also cover reading, writing, and listening skills. Students will engage with thought-provoking texts, develop writing abilities, and improve listening comprehension through a variety of multimedia resources.

TOPIC-BASED LEARNING

During the afternoon, students apply their skills to their chosen English in Action class, practising and reinforcing their language abilities in stimulating, hands-on scenarios. By combining language learning with interactive projects, we foster both linguistic fluency and personal development, making English meaningful and memorable.

CORE LIFE SKILLS FOR SUCCESS

We explore Core Life Skills which are essential to thrive in the modern world and to navigate complex challenges in diverse settings. Students will develop strong presentation and debating abilities, enhance problem-solving techniques, and explore the art of rhetoric and diplomacy.
