Abstract

For future industrial transformation and job structure reform, 2015 and 2022 revised curricula was established as competency-based curriculum. To enhance competencies effectively in the English classroom, content-language integrated learning (CLIL) was presented. CLIL is supposed to achieve both subjects(coding education) and language(English) goals that share the main information processing competency in an integrated approach. The purpose of this study is to adapt CLIL with coding theme. The CLIL model (the 4Cs Framework) that focused on EFL students in previous studies (Kim & Heo, 2020) was applied as a method of teaching coding. Specifically, the framework of content, communication language, cognition, and culture was described in detail as codes, computational thinking, English commands, higher-order and lower-order thinking, learning motivation, and interest. To elaborate the instruction, the 17th lessons of coding-English integrated class templates following the 4C components and support was suggested. As a result of the experimental class, learners who took the CLIL class had a positive change in English writing fluency, and they improved their coding problem-solving ability and interests. This study implies to show reality in CLIL classes and demonstrate the implementation of content-language integrated classes in the field by describing examples of the CLIL approach based on coding theme.
