– to discover and put to work children’s curiosity and desire for experimentation, – to prepare kids safely for a digital environment, – to prepare students for a speaking exam (Cambridge Starters, Movers or Flyers, depending on the students’ entry level). – to learn a wide range of vocabulary through working on coding projects, The course is aimed at many types of students: brain work and creativity are combined, students are to take control of the final outcome of the course. Aim of the Cod-English (Coding&English for Kids) course: Over the course, the teacher’s talking time will decrease, while the students’ talking time will increase. – first improve their listening skills (and concentration skills), The lessons are held in English from lesson 2. – parents can/are required to follow students’ progress (not only for safety reasons, but as one of the biggest motivation: ‘ Mum/Dad, look what I can do!‘). – never sharing anything themselves and/or under their names, – using only certified, educational websites and applications, – from their home, being connected to the teacher online, The students work in a completely safe environment: – moving backgrounds and walking sprites etc. – mazes (we can even recreate ‘Pac-Man’) – simple games like simple clicking and hand coordination games First only following the teacher’s instructions, later creating their own projects: Using visual puzzle blocks (= instruction codes), they will be able to build up a game/exercise/animation. Content of the Cod-English (Coding&English for Kids) course:ĭuring the course, students will learn about the basic notions in coding: algorithm, sequencing, repetition, variables, etc – using a free online educational coding application, called Scratch. – simple answers and requests: Yes, No, I don’t understand, Repeat it please, It’s clear, etc.Īlso these will be given to them in the first lesson. – basic vocabulary: animals, colours, fruit, numbers, simple verbs ( open, close, copy, click, etc.) – following simple instructions ( open the file, click on the link, do what I’m doing, etc.) The students need little knowledge in English: These will be discussed in Italian in the first lesson. – saving files into a pre-set folder for projects, etc.

– writing a message in the chatbox on Skype,
