スクリーンタイムと英語力アップの両立：日本の幼児向けNetflix＆ストリーミング活用ガイド -- Balancing Screen Time and English Growth: Netflix & Beyond for Young Children in Japan

日本では日常的に英語を聞く機会が少ないため、Netflixやストリーミングサービスを活用して幼児から英語力を伸ばす方法を紹介しています。テレビ時間をバイリンガル学習に変えるコツや、2～6歳向けのおすすめ番組リストなど、忙しい保護者の方が自宅で簡単に始められるヒントをまとめました。

Because children in Japan rarely hear English in their daily lives, this article explores how Netflix and streaming services can be used to help young children develop English skills. It provides tips on turning TV time into a bilingual learning opportunity, offers recommended shows for ages 2–6, and highlights practical ways for busy parents to start at home.

Understanding Language Input

It is important to remember some points about language input. Language input has to do with the idea of listening and comprehending situations, ideas and what is going on around them in that language. It is rare to hear English in daily life in Japan. A majority of the time we have to actively search for opportunities to even hear the English language. Children in preschool, kindergarten or even elementary school will rarely if ever hear anything in English without teacher or parental support.

How Input Develops Naturally

Language input starts first naturally. We speak to our children in our chosen language for more than a year before they start responding with bit and pieces of it as 1-2 year old children. Over time this process helps develop the ability to respond, but clearly, kids need to understand situations before they can begin to respond in any language.

The Emergence of Output

Language output comes next. Children start to use the context and situational awareness to connect words and phrases together to be able to say something simple, such as "I'm thirsty," or "I'm hungry." Children at this point are using the language they have been exposed to and what they know their parents will respond to.

Language Acquisition

Keeping this in Mind for Language Acquisition

Input vs Output: A Natural Process

When considering language input vs output, it becomes clear which one must come first. When children face situations where they must use another language, their natural tendency is to listen first and try to understand the context. While some children may boldly attempt to speak in a second language, most will remain in their native language until they feel confident enough to try.

Practice in Real-Life Situations at Lexis

In our beginner (一般性), classes at Lexis, we focus on preparing students for various real-life situations. From basic classroom English and daily conversations to following teacher instructions, our emphasis is on comprehension first—just as children naturally acquire their first language. Over time, students develop situational awareness, which leads to confident responses.

---

Time and Iteration: The Key to Progress

Language acquisition is a process that takes time. At Lexis, our standard lessons, which are 50 or 80 minutes a week, are designed to maximize students' time and focus on iterative learning. This includes constant review, building new vocabulary, and exposing students to diverse situations. Through listening, speaking, and eventually reading and writing, students steadily build the skills they need to communicate confidently and effectively.

In our 50-minute classes, students are encouraged to “lower their guard” and accept that they may not understand everything. This leap of faith helps them focus on grasping the key meaning of what they hear. From there, they practice using new words, ideas, and phrases until they gain confidence—not just in saying something, but in responding to questions and articulating answers.

Students also learn to explain situations, adopt new ways of thinking, and express their ideas without the fear of making mistakes.

---

Mistakes Are Part of the Journey

As we know, children make plenty of mistakes when learning their first language. Similarly, mistakes are a natural and essential part of learning a second language. Bold students may speak without hesitation, even if they misuse a phrase, but they can still convey meaning and understanding. This is a positive step forward.

Other students, however, may need more confidence before they begin communicating. This is where the balance of language input and output becomes critical again.

---

For Students Struggling with Output, Input a Simple Solution

For students struggling to produce output, increasing language input is the simplest and most effective solution. By exposing them to clear, consistent language through various means, they build the foundation needed to develop their confidence and ability to speak.

How Children in Japan Could Benefit from Video Input

According to a research study by NHK in 2015, the average child watches between 105 to 114 minutes of television every day. More recent reports show a slight decline but still, children are watching easily more than an hour and a half of each and every day consuming video media.

Television as a Tool for Language Development

While television has its pros and cons, it remains a widely used device for both adults and children. From the perspective of language development, however, it offers massive potential. If parents and children are already watching TV regularly, incorporating English-language programming can become an easy and relaxing way to enhance language input and support the goal of developing stronger English skills.

Steaming Services to the Rescue

We can't always be watching our children's every move. Doing household chores, cleaning up after kids, work, and hopefully a little bit of a social life for parents means that we can't always sit down and be the best example for our children. This is why so many people turn on the television during various parts of the day. If we are going to be turning the TV on anyway, whether you are in favor of television or not, if it is going to happen in your home regardless, then shouldn't we use it for language input?

The Power of Unique Situations

In the classroom, we encourage children to imagine, create scenes in their minds, and navigate real-life scenarios. These activities provide fantastic opportunities for student output. However, given how critical input is to developing language skills, increasing exposure to input significantly enhances output.

Television offers children exposure to a wide range of situations, concepts, ideas, and characters at a naturally fast pace. Characters on TV shows respond more quickly than most young second-language learners can, which helps build quicker question-and-response skills. Additionally, these shows transport kids to exotic locations and experiences far beyond what a classroom can provide.

This exposure helps children build vocabulary and develop a broader understanding of the world. While some programs focus on realistic, everyday situations, others take children on imaginative journeys that aren’t physically possible in a classroom setting. Both types of content provide valuable opportunities for language development and learning.

A Personal Suggestion

For parents who already have the TV on, consider turning it into an opportunity for learning by using an Internet streaming service. Below, I’ve outlined some popular television platforms for children and how they measure up in terms of language development. While I’m not a strong advocate of television as the primary solution, I am a realist. If children are going to watch TV anyway, and a family’s goal is to improve English skills, merging the two can be an effective approach.

How can parents with busy lives and responsibilities find good materials for their children? How can they ensure that the content their children watch is not only entertaining but also useful, relevant, and educational? This is especially important in a world where algorithms often prioritize what is popular over what is best. Thankfully, in 2025, there are a multitude of platforms to choose from. To simplify this vast topic, I’ll focus on children aged 2-5 and the digital media options currently available in Japan.

Netflix: The Easiest Option for Bilingual Learning

Netflix, one of the largest American platforms for digital content, offers a wide selection of children’s entertainment at various price points. It is an immensely popular option for engaging children in English-language content.

One of Netflix’s greatest strengths is its ease of use. Parents can create a dedicated children’s account, which filters out mature content, ensuring the menu is safe and age-appropriate. Additionally, Netflix allows users to quickly switch languages mid-show, making it especially useful for bilingual households. Compared to Amazon Prime, this feature is far more accessible, allowing children to become accustomed to English voices from the start. For this reason, I recommend introducing shows in English right away rather than switching from Japanese.

---

Amazon Prime Video: A Clunky but Usable Alternative

Amazon Prime Video is another highly popular option, but it has several drawbacks when it comes to bilingual content. The user interface is slower and more confusing, making it harder to navigate for parents looking for English-language shows. The library is cluttered with ads for rentals and purchases, which can be distracting and make it difficult to focus on free, Prime-included options. The navigation style often feels chaotic—similar to shopping at Don Quijote—with a random assortment of “you might like this” recommendations.

Although Amazon Prime does offer solid English-language content for children, much of it is also available on Netflix. Additionally, changing the language on Amazon Prime can be frustrating. You must select the language before starting the video, and if you want to change it midway, you’ll need to close the video, search for the language-specific version, and reopen it. While this process only takes a minute or so, it can be difficult to explain to young children eager to watch their shows.

For these reasons, I recommend Netflix over Amazon Prime Video for parents seeking to maximize bilingual learning through streaming services.

Other Platforms and the Role of Netflix

There are so many other service providers, streaming services, and platforms to choose from, but for the sake of time, today I will focus on Netflix. As I mentioned, Netflix has an easy-to-use interface and makes it simple to change the language settings. You can even set a profile to keep content in English by default, so anytime kids use the platform, shows will default to English (assuming that option is available).

Guiding Children’s Streaming Habits for Language Learning

Keep in mind, Netflix is not designed specifically for language learning. As a parent, you will need to guide your children in selecting the right programming. It’s also easy for kids to find Japanese shows and enjoy them. This isn’t inherently bad, as Netflix is an entertainment platform. However, for language learning, we must help our children develop good habits when watching streaming TV.

Practical Tips for Maximizing TV as a Learning Tool

This means no headphones. I also personally like to turn on English captions for TV shows. Whether or not my child is actively reading them, captions are a great way to foster at least some cognition of reading alongside entertainment.

With these points in mind, it’s time for a catalogue of great starter shows on Netflix to help build that powerful skill of language input. Remember, when input is combined with language output—like the opportunities kids get when they study at Lexis, play with English-speaking children, or even travel abroad—it provides a significant advantage.

---

A Personal Note

Let me preface this by saying I have a daughter. We watched TV together for years. I will do my best to recommend shows that she approved of—not just the ones her “teacher daddy” likes. While there are bound to be negatives for each show, I will try to focus on the positives.

The mindset here is simple: if the TV is going to be on anyway, it might as well help children in their language development.

Starter Shows on Netflix

The Easiest to Understand: Peppa Pig

Peppa Pig is one of the best shows for introducing young children to English. The language is simple and repetitive, helping kids absorb common phrases naturally. The show is narrated making it especially easy to comprehend. Each episode is only five minutes long, making it manageable for short attention spans. The characters speak clearly and at a slow pace, making it easy for beginners to follow. The relatable, everyday situations—like visiting the park or playing with friends—help children connect the language to real life. With strong visual cues and engaging storytelling, Peppa Pig supports comprehension while keeping kids entertained. Plus, its light humor and cheerful tone encourage relaxed, effective learning. Also, for parents it is not super annoying like some other shows.

Ages: 2 - 8, and still useful to new learners of English at any age!

The Coolest: Octonauts

Octonauts: A Fun and Engaging Show for English Learning

Octonauts is an adventurous and educational show that introduces children to marine life, problem-solving, and teamwork while reinforcing English language skills. The dialogue is clear yet engaging, featuring a mix of everyday conversation and scientific vocabulary that expands listening comprehension naturally.

Unlike many kids' shows, Octonauts is neither overly repetitive nor annoying, making it enjoyable for parents as well.

CoComelon: A Catchy Option for Language Learning

CoComelon is a go-to show for young children and a solid option for introducing English through music. Each episode features nursery rhymes and simple songs about daily routines, family, and basic concepts like colors, numbers, and shapes. The repetitive, catchy tunes help children absorb vocabulary and sentence structures naturally. That said, parents often find the songs a bit repetitive (and sometimes annoying) due to their earworm nature. However, the bright visuals and familiar scenarios keep kids engaged and learning. Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers, it’s a useful tool for language exposure—just be ready to have those songs stuck in your head!

Ages: 2-3

Gabby’s Dollhouse: Imaginative and Interactive English Learning

Each episode is filled with fun adventures, problem-solving, and imaginative play, making it both entertaining and educational. The language is simple, with clear dialogue and repetitive phrases that help children pick up new words naturally. Gabby’s positive, upbeat tone encourages creativity while exposing kids to everyday vocabulary.

Ages: 3 and up, especially popular with girls

Ask the StoryBots: Fun and Educational for Language Learning

Ask the StoryBots is an excellent choice for young children learning English. The show follows quirky little robots as they answer kids’ big questions like “Why is the sky blue?” or “How do airplanes fly?” Each episode combines animation with live-action segments, keeping it visually engaging and easy to follow. The vocabulary is simple yet expands naturally through context, and the pacing is perfect for language learners. With its creative explanations, catchy songs, and fun humor, Ask the StoryBots keeps kids entertained while helping them learn new words and concepts.

Ages: 3 and up

Word Party: Interactive and Engaging for Language Learning

Word Party is an choice for toddlers and preschoolers starting their English journey. On a personal note, my daughter didn't care for it so much though. However, the show features a group of adorable baby animals— who learn new words with the help of the audience. Its interactive format encourages children to participate actively, repeating words and phrases out loud. The simple vocabulary and frequent repetition make it easy for kids to absorb new language. Plus, the upbeat songs and colorful animation keep them entertained while learning. Word Party is a fun and effective way to build foundational English skills.

Ages: 3-8

Ms. Rachel: A Wonderful Resource for Early Language Development

In the latest news from Netflix, a popular Youtube sensation Ms. Rachel is moving to platform streaming. This starts January 28th, 2025.
Ms. Rachel is a show for toddlers and preschoolers learning English. Known for her interactive and educational approach, Ms. Rachel focuses on key language skills like phonics, first words, and simple sentences. Her cheerful and entertaining personality keeps children focused, while her slow, clear speech and visual hints make it easy for young learners to follow along. Songs, repetition, and interactive prompts encourage active participation, helping kids build confidence in speaking. This show is not only educational but also supportive for parents aiming to boost their child's language skills.

Ages 2-5

A Conclusion as Starting Point

While this is the conclusion of this article, this list is just a starting point, and there are many more shows and methods to help your child develop their English skills. We’ll be sharing additional articles soon, covering other platforms, activities, and creative approaches to language learning. If you’d like more tailored advice or have specific questions, feel free to reach out to me, Jared, at Lexis or any other teacher or staff member — We’d all be happy to help.

Keep in mind, TV is just one tool among many. Books, engaging activities with friends, structured classes, and focused study all play vital roles in building language skills. But if TV is already part of your child’s routine, using that time to include high-quality English programs can provide valuable input. Every small effort adds up in the journey to becoming bilingual!

言語インプットを理解する

まず、「言語インプット」とは、ある言語を耳にし、その状況やアイデア、周囲で起きていることを理解しようとする過程を指します。日本では日常生活の中で英語を耳にする機会はほとんどありません。とくに幼稚園や保育園、小学校低学年では、英語に触れる場面がほぼゼロに近いのが現状です。そのため、英語を聞ける環境を意識的に探さない限り、子どもが英語を耳にすることは非常に少ないといえます。

---

インプットは自然にどう身につくのか

言語のインプットは、赤ちゃんのころから自然に始まります。私たちは生まれてから1年以上かけて、親や周囲の人が話す言葉をただ聞いて理解を深め、1～2歳ごろになると少しずつ言葉を発し始めます。このプロセスを通じて、「言葉を理解する力」が育まれ、やがて子どもたちは状況を理解しながら応答できるようになっていくのです。

---

アウトプットの芽生え

次に現れるのが「アウトプット」です。子どもは状況やコンテクストを手掛かりに、単語やフレーズをつなげて「のどが渇いた」「おなかすいた」など、簡単な表現を話しはじめます。この段階では、子どもがこれまでに聞き取ってきた言葉や、親が反応してくれる言葉を中心に使うようになります。

---

言語習得において押さえておきたいポイント

インプットとアウトプットの自然な流れ

言語習得を考える際、「インプット」と「アウトプット」のどちらが先行するかはとても重要です。子どもたちは新しい言語を使わなければいけない場面に直面すると、まずは聞いて理解しようとします。大胆に話そうとする子もいますが、多くの場合、自信がつくまでは母語で過ごすことが多いものです。

---

レクシスでの実践：リアルな場面で練習

レクシスの初級（一般性）クラスでは、日常会話や教室での指示の理解など、実践的な場面を想定して学習を進めています。子どもが母語を身につけるときと同様、まずは「聞いて理解する」ことを大切にし、徐々に状況をつかむ力を育てます。こうした積み重ねによって、徐々に自信を持って応答できるようになっていくのです。

---

時間と反復がカギを握る

言語習得には時間がかかります。レクシスでは週に50分または80分のレッスンを行い、反復学習を重ねながら語彙を増やし、さまざまな場面での英語に触れるように設計しています。聞く・話すだけでなく、やがて読む・書く段階へと発展させ、総合的なコミュニケーション力を育てます。

特に50分クラスでは、「すべてを完璧に理解しようとしなくていい」という姿勢を促し、まずは聞いた内容の大まかな意味をつかむことを重視しています。そこから新しい単語や表現を何度も使い、質問に答えたり、自分の考えをまとめたりできるようになるまで練習します。また、生徒たちは状況を説明したり、新しい視点を取り入れたりしながら、失敗を恐れず表現を試みることを学びます。

---

失敗は成長の一部

第一言語を習得するとき、子どもはたくさん間違えます。第二言語でも同じで、間違いは自然かつ必要不可欠なステップです。積極的に話す子は多少表現を間違えても意味を伝えられますが、慎重な子はもう少し自信がついてから話し始めることが多いでしょう。ここで改めて「インプット」と「アウトプット」のバランスが大切になります。

---

アウトプットに苦戦しているなら、まずはインプットを強化

英語を話すことに抵抗がある子どもの場合、インプットを増やすのがシンプルかつ効果的です。聞き取りやすい英語を継続的に与えることで、自信と表現力の土台が育まれます。

---

日本の子どもにおすすめしたい映像コンテンツの活用

NHKの2015年の調査によると、当時の子どもは1日あたり105～114分ほどテレビを視聴していました。最近はやや減少傾向にあるといわれますが、それでも1時間半以上は映像メディアに接している計算です。

テレビを言語発達に活かす

テレビには良い面と悪い面がありますが、親子ともに使い慣れているメディアであることは事実です。毎日のテレビ視聴の中で英語番組を取り入れれば、自然にインプットを増やすことができます。

---

ストリーミングサービスの活用

子どものそばに常に付き添っていられない場面は多々あります。家事や仕事、少しのプライベート時間も必要です。そういうときにテレビを見せるご家庭は多いでしょう。もしテレビを見る機会があるならば、その時間を英語インプットに変えてしまうのは賢い方法です。

---

クラスルームでは体験できない「ユニークなシチュエーション」

レッスンではイメージ力を働かせたり、状況設定をしたり、リアルな場面でアウトプットを促しますが、テレビ番組はさらに多種多様なシチュエーションやキャラクター、世界観を短時間で子どもに見せてくれます。登場人物のやりとりは早いテンポで進み、子どもの応答速度を高める手助けにもなります。また、現実では行けないような場所や体験を映像で疑似体験できるため、語彙力や背景知識がぐんと広がるのもメリットです。

---

親御さんへの提案

「テレビをつけるなら、どうせなら学習に役立てたい」と思われる方もいらっしゃるでしょう。そこで、以下に子ども向けの主要な配信サービスについて、英語学習の観点から簡単に比較します。私自身は「テレビがすべての解決策」とは考えていませんが、実際によく利用される手段であるからこそ、有効に活用する価値は十分にあります。

2025年現在、多くのストリーミングサービスが存在し、子ども向けの番組も充実しています。アルゴリズムで人気コンテンツが優先されがちですが、本当に役立つ作品を見つける工夫が重要です。ここでは、特に2～5歳の子ども向けに、日本で利用できる主要サービスを取り上げます。

---

Netflix：バイリンガル学習には最も手軽

世界的大手のアメリカ発プラットフォーム「Netflix」には、料金プランに応じて多彩な子ども向け作品があります。英語の音声に切り替えやすく、子ども用プロフィールを作成すれば年齢制限のあるコンテンツが排除されるため、安心して使える点が魅力です。

言語切り替えのしやすさが特長
他のサービスと比べて簡単に音声を英語に変えられるので、バイリンガル環境を目指すご家庭に向いています。おすすめは最初から英語音声で視聴すること。日本語音声から英語に切り替えるよりも、初めから英語で慣れさせたほうがスムーズに耳が育ちます。

---

Amazonプライム・ビデオ：やや扱いにくいが利用価値あり

もう一つの人気サービスが「Amazonプライム・ビデオ」です。しかし、英語音声への切り替えやインターフェース面で使いにくさがあります。レンタル作品や購入作品の広告も多く、目的のコンテンツを探しづらいと感じる人が多いようです。

言語切り替えの手順が面倒
作品を再生する前に言語を選択する必要があり、途中で変更するときは一度動画を閉じて別バージョンを探さなければなりません。操作自体は1分ほどですが、小さなお子さんが待ちきれないことも。とはいえ、学習に使える番組自体は充実しているので、工夫次第で活用できます。

総合的には、バイリンガル学習を重視するならNetflixの方が始めやすいでしょう。

---

その他のサービスとNetflixの位置づけ

もちろん、Disney+（ディズニープラス）など他にも多くの動画配信サービスがありますが、今回は使い勝手の良さを重視してNetflixに焦点を当てました。Netflixはプロフィールを英語設定にしておけば、自動的に英語音声で再生できる場合が多いのが利点です。

---

子どもの視聴習慣をうまくガイドする

Netflix自体はあくまでエンターテインメントプラットフォームであり、語学学習に特化して設計されているわけではありません。そのため、親御さんがある程度コンテンツを選び、英語音声で見る習慣をつける工夫が必要です。もちろん、日本語の作品を見ることが悪いわけではありませんが、英語学習を優先させたいなら「英語で見ようね」という流れをつくるのがポイントです。

---

テレビを学習ツールにする実践的なコツ

• ヘッドホンは使わない：部屋全体に音が響くので、子どもが自然と英語を耳にしやすくなります。
• 英語字幕を表示：子どもがまだ読めなくても、目に入るだけで文字と音の関連に気づくきっかけになります。

こうしてインプットを増やしつつ、レクシスのレッスンや英語の話せる友達との交流、旅行などでアウトプットの機会を得ると、言語習得はさらに加速します。

---

個人的なエピソード

私には娘がおり、長年一緒にテレビを見てきました。ここでは「先生としての厳選番組」ではなく、実際に娘が喜んで視聴し、私自身も「これはいいな」と思えた番組を中心にご紹介します。考え方はシンプルで、「テレビを見るなら学習効果のある作品を選ぼう」ということです。
