Tingo, an energetic Muppet, who only recently arrived in this country, introduces conversational English through adventures with his friend, Niki, a typical teenage girl. The program features two 13-minute segments and follows a simple storyline that uses humor, physical action and music to appeal to children while introducing basic English expressions, vocabulary and sentence structures. The program also includes classic Sesame Street Muppets, animation and live-action segments. Tingo speaks in English as well as Spanish to clarify and reinforce storylines and language concepts. Offers true bilingual instruction for Spanish-speaking students. Part of the multivolume Sesame English: ESL for Children Video Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
