The Impact of Multilingual Teaching on the Social Behaviors of Preschool Children

With the development of globalization, cross-cultural communication skills are becoming increasingly important. Some researchers have found that multilingual teaching has promoted learners’ language proficiency and communication skills. However, existing research has overlooked the implementation of multilingual teaching in the preschool stage and paid less attention to its impact on social skills. Therefore, this study is the first to conduct cross-disciplinary research on “multilingual teaching” and “social behavior of preschool children”, and based on the research results, a set of multilingual curriculum teaching plans has been designed. This study adopts the research methods of literature review and case analysis to investigate the above issues. Research has found that immersive multilingual teaching can, to a certain extent, cultivate children’s language skills and social abilities. This article suggests that kindergartens, if capable, can cultivate these two important abilities of preschool children by introducing multilingual teaching.
