This paper aims to study the practical significance and influence of scaffolding in Chinese Preschool English learning. Firstly, it introduces the research background and preliminary inference in this field, and introduces the description of a series of research methods, such as data collection and analysis process. The limitations of this study are put forward. The specific implementation method is to transcribe the language interaction between teachers and students in the classroom, and analyze these dialogues with scientific methods. At the same time, the transcripts of the surveyed students before and after the scaffolding teaching method were compared. Finally, interviews were conducted with teachers and students to analyze the attitudes of students and teachers towards scaffolding. The data show that students’ test scores have been significantly improved. Through the evaluation methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis, it is further concluded that scaffolding teaching method can help students learn high-level phonics, play a role that can not be ignored, and stimulate students’ learning motivation. At the end of the article, the research results and practical application value are obtained. The influence of this paper on the research in this field is briefly described.
