Reviewing Vocabulary to Prepare for Coding

In this clip, Patricia Blanchette, an elementary ESL teacher at l’école Barthélémy-Vimont (CSDM), explains how she prepared her students for a coding activity using Scratch.

Scratch is a free online programming language where students can use blocks to create stories, games, and animations. In this video, Patricia presents the key vocabulary students need to use in order to complete a Scratch script.

You can find many tutorials online that will support your teaching of programming to young students. We have included a link to Randy Hamlyn’s Coding in Intensive English Resources.
