Fresh, Contemporary 3D-Animation
- Highly-attractive animation tailored to young children.
- Attention-grapping and engaging over multiple repeat viewings.
- Specially created just for this program. Children see pictures of the words they hear linguist call this “contextualization”. It’s a key to learning component.
- Entirely focused on teaching English; children learn while being entertained.
- Competing products were created to entertain, with English lessons attached later.
- Children resent the poorly-integrated teaching interruptions. ET has no animations at all, while Disney’s Magic English is really just a collection of Disney cartoons.
Live-Action Sequences
- The live-action sequences help children to
o Relate the lessons of the animation with real-life in general and
o Transfer their new vocabulary to everyday situations
o ET only uses live-action, neglecting the interplay of animation and live-action.
