Vincent the \u2018magic paintbrush\u2019 can paint scenes that become \u2018doorways to discovery\u2019 when the appropriate words are said aloud correctly. Rhina is a streetwise toy rhinoceros that loves to read.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Each episode of <em>Vincent &amp; Friends<\/em> begins with the children alone in their playroom while Rhina provides the topic for the episode. Vincent paints a topical scene which allows for further exploration.The characters enter the scene where they learn more about the topic before repeating the magic words when it is time to return to the playroom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rose and Eddy learn about the world around them through Vincent\u2019s paintings. They learn to seek information, ask questions, and solve problems. In their adventures, they learn to communicate with other children and adults from all over the world. They are models of good manners and behaviour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">English is accepted internationally as the preferred language for conducting commerce and for communicating concepts in science and mathematics. English is taught in Malaysia from kindergarten. Good English programmes for children will complement the teaching of English in schools.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1220 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/internexia.com\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/VF5-300x246.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"http:\/\/internexia.com\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/VF5-300x246.png 300w, http:\/\/internexia.com\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/VF5.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Articles published in September 2005 by The New Straits Times and The Star newspapers reported that the Education Ministry encourages schoolchildren to watch more English Language television programs, including cartoons, as part of a strategy to improve their English.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe cannot dismiss the role of television,\u201d Director-General of the Education Ministry, Datuk Dr Ahmad Sipon was quoted as saying. \u201cIt is important. Students should watch more television, especially educational English programs &#8230;\u201d (March 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, 2005). The most effective way to improve communication skills in any geographic region is to expose the population to the correct use of language when they are children.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our market research of children\u2019s television programming shows that there is a lack of educational content in English for children. Many English programmes are designed to appeal to pre-school viewers, but the majority fail to address the language needs of the regions in which they are aired. This is especially true when a programme produced in a region where English is the first language is televised in a region where English is a second language. In nations where English is the native tongue, parents and teachers are able to correct the use of slang and careless language, which children pick up from TV programmes. In a region where English is not the first language, this may not be possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Vincent and Friends<\/em> shows only correct English. <em>Vincent &amp; Friends<\/em> is a fun-filled children\u2019s animated series written specifically to address the above issues. All dialogue in this series is in simple, correct English suitable for a pre-school audience. <em>Vincent &amp; Friends<\/em> pays special attention to grammar, syntax and pronunciation. This helps to prepare viewers for a high international standard of English speaking skills.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The language learning in <em>Vincent and Friends<\/em> is subtle. The young audience will learn as they enjoy the entertaining stories. By focusing on its children, a nation\u2019s transition from \u2018poor English\u2019 to \u2018good English\u2019 can be seamless. A nation can be speaking and writing &#8216;good English&#8217; within one generation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Vincent &amp; Friends TV series revolves around the adventures of two pre-school<a class=\"moretag\" href=\"http:\/\/internexia.com\/v2\/?page_id=1188\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":941,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/internexia.com\/v2\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1188"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/internexia.com\/v2\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/internexia.com\/v2\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/internexia.com\/v2\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/internexia.com\/v2\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1188"}],"version-history":[{"count":50,"href":"http:\/\/internexia.com\/v2\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1188\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2596,"href":"http:\/\/internexia.com\/v2\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1188\/revisions\/2596"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/internexia.com\/v2\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/internexia.com\/v2\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
