ABSTRACT

In recent years, with the rising awareness of "bilingual education" in society, the trend of second language learning at a younger age has become an irreversible teaching trend, but at present, bilingual education for young children in China is still in the exploratory stage, and has not yet formed a systematic and scientific education system based on theories such as second language acquisition theory and critical period hypothesis theory. This article attempts to explore the most important factors in raising bilingual children, based on these advises given in Colin Baker's book “A Parents' and Teachers' Guide to Bilingualism”, to provide more practical guidance on second language acquisition for young children.
