Abstract

This study will review and analyze literatures of the field to indicate the prospect of the early bilingual education in China. As scientific findings about early bilingualism have few opportunities to be disseminated in China, my investigation aims to introduce some mainstream concepts of bilingual education in the state of art works, and provide more information and implications on the early bilingual field to Chinese parents, educators, and educational policymakers. The essay argues that advanced effectiveness of early bilingual education in improving children’s language proficiency and cognitive competence contribute to a promising prospect in Chinese context. Finally, the findings of this essay are expected to encourage more relevant stakeholders to engage in early bilingual field.
