Acquiring coding skills in English presents a significant challenge to many. In line with Vygotsky's Social Development Theory, learning outcomes are optimised when the cultural and linguistic context is familiar. By supporting multiple local languages, 9CE leverages Cummins' Linguistic Interdependence Theory, allowing developers to code in Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Fulfulde, French, or English and convert their programs to standard Python.
