“…Bilingual education dates back to the times of Greek and Roman, and it is a well-organized and planned program using two or more languages to teach subject matter rather than just the languages (Cummins & Hornberger, 2008;Cummins, 2009). However, with the popularity of bilingual education, the terms extend to any educational program involving two languages in teaching and learning (Chen, 2017). Since the mid-1960s, researchers have examined the complexity and effectiveness of bilingual education programs from the perspectives of economy, society, politics, and globalization (Nurutdinova & Bolotnikov, 2018;Lewis, 1980) and at different levels from early to higher education (Ozfidan, 2017;Yana et al, 2021).…”

This cross-sectional study examined materials adaptation within an English-Chinese bilingual storytelling curriculum for first graders to identify the potential factors influencing adaptation choice. It delved into the relationship between curriculum objectives, perceptions of picture books, and the use of tense and narrative. A survey (N=352) gathered demographic data of English teachers from China, and the data was analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS) structural equation modeling. Findings illuminate how teachers’ perception of picture books fully mediate the interplay between bilingual storytelling curriculum objectives and teachers’ narrative in a picture book adaptation. Analyzing the results by narrative theory, it found that the essence of storytelling and narrative is making meanings; stories play a leading role in the curriculum for first graders to develop their bilingual narrative through sharing, reading, and telling stories. Consequently, teachers’ understanding of picture books’ possibilities as teaching materials, benefits for fostering students’ bilingual development, and perception of the intertextuality of illustration and words can significantly facilitate teachers’ narrative in a picture book adaptation. This study contributes by elucidating the mediating role of picture books, emphasizing the importance of linking curriculum objectives with teaching materials adaptation in practice. Furthermore, longitudinal research is to overcome the limitations of this cross-sectional correlation analysis.

“…English). However, in the context of educational research in general, the term tends to be very complicated to define as it involves different language situations in different regions and countries (Chen, 2017). According to its literal meaning, "bilingual education" usually refers to any educational program that involves two languages in the progress of teaching.…”

“…Chen also stated that bilingual education has developed for a long time, and many statements on its definition are concluded by some worldwide famous scholars like Anderson and Boyer (1970). But here is a definition that is more relevant to the primary school education, which is represented as "any system of school education in which, at a given moment in time and for a varying amount of time, simultaneously or consecutively, instruction is planned and given in at least two languages" (Hamer & Blanc citied in Chen, 2017). This definition stresses the use of two languages as media of instruction rather than achieving academic purposes through two languages.…”
