Sesame Street English is a series of 26 videos produced by Sesame Workshop in 2008 to help pre-school children learn English as a second language. The core of each episode is a two-minute cartoon, also called Sesame Street English, which presents the famous Sesame Street Muppet characters in an anime style. The episodes also include live-action sequences and segments from Sesame Street, based around four key concepts: "reading readiness, math concepts, 'nature and health exploration', and 'the world around me.'" [1]
Sesame Street English is a follow-up to Sesame Workshop's first ESL program, Sesame English, which launched in 1999. A 2008 Sesame Workshop press release says: "Using today’s technology, Sesame Street English represents the evolution of the interactive learning experience, and engages and provides children with the opportunity enjoy focused lessons that will build the foundation for English proficiency."
