“…Through this adaptive approach, each learner's interaction with the application results in real-time adjustments to task difficulty, ensuring that learning activities remain challenging yet achievable. Quantitative analysis of data collected from adaptive learning platforms reveals that learners using adaptive systems demonstrate a faster mastery of new vocabulary items, with a mean learning rate improvement of 47% compared to those in a static learning environment [3]. This improvement is measured through controlled pre-tests and post-tests designed to assess vocabulary knowledge before and after the intervention period.…”

This study explores the multifaceted role of technology in augmenting early childhood bilingual education, emphasizing interactive software, multimedia resources, online communication, and programming for cognitive development. Through a series of quantitative analyses, this research delineates the significant impact of technology-enhanced learning environments on vocabulary acquisition, engagement, personalized learning, multimodal learning efficacy, phonetic recognition, cultural immersion, global classroom participation, conversational fluency, cultural competency, logic and problem-solving skills, coding for language learning, and creative expression. Findings from statistical methods, including Pearson correlation coefficients, repeated measures ANOVAs, and pre-and post-test designs, reveal notable improvements in language proficiency, cognitive abilities, cultural awareness, and expressive skills among young learners exposed to technology-integrated instruction. Specifically, gamification in language apps, adaptive learning technologies, multimedia input, and programming tasks have shown to considerably enhance educational outcomes. This paper advocates for a strategic integration of digital tools in early childhood bilingual curriculums to foster a comprehensive developmental approach, thereby preparing students for the challenges of a globalized and technologically advanced society.

“…In its application, CLIL is intended to build students' L2 understanding by using L2 in the learning process of several subjects. From the results of various studies, CLIL has been proven to improve students' language skills, especially L2, so that students have balanced first and second language skills (García-Centeno et al, 2020;Graham & Yeh, 2022;Mearns, 2012). The most essential benefit of applying CLIL is enriching students' vocabulary (Bekirogulları et al, 2022;Jafarigohar et al, 2022;Salvador-García et al, 2020).…”

CLIL is widely implemented in English as a foreign language class, but there has been no specific research conducted to identify the advantages and challenges of implementing it in the context of bilingual education. This study aims to examine the implementation of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in bilingual education. Specifically, this study focuses on the benefits of CLIL in bilingual education and the challenges of implementing CLIL in bilingual education. Then, a recommendation to implement CLIL effectively was drawn using the benefits and the challenges of CLIL. This research was conducted by following the steps of a literature review. Data was collected from articles from accredited international journals published online from 2012 to 2022. The collected data were analyzed qualitatively using an interactive data analysis model, carried out in three stages of analysis: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The data collected showed that CLIL improved mastery of a second language. It is because CLIL provides a lot of exposure for the students. Besides, CLIL enables students to acquire English by practicing it actively. The challenge in implementing CLIL lies in teachers’, students’, and teaching media readiness. To run CLIL effectively, it should be done by considering the quality, quantity, and consistency of the English exposure.

“…The community service targets were children in these rural elementary schools, who generally had fewer English learning resources compared to their urban counterparts, resulting in a noticeable lag in their English learning progress. However, considering the Taiwanese government's 2030 bilingual education goal and the integration of English into content learning (Graham and Yeh 2023), English proficiency has become an essential tool. Consequently, it is evident that there is a pressing need for the children in these community schools to enhance their English proficiency.…”

This study explored the transformative potential of academic service learning (ASL) within a Taiwanese university setting in the context of teaching English as a foreign language. The participants were students majoring in English, enrolled in a semester-long English teaching course. Their academic service-learning project involved teaching English to students in rural primary schools. By adopting both quantitative and qualitative approaches, this study illuminated how ASL influences students’ academic, personal, and interpersonal development. Quantitative findings revealed a significant level of satisfaction with the ASL course and noted substantial gains in personal growth, professional development, and civic engagement domains. As for the qualitative data, the study brought forth the concrete ways in which the academic service-learning curriculum has augmented students’ professional knowledge, skills, and attitudes. While the results aligned with many previous studies asserting the benefits of service learning in enhancing academic and practical learning outcomes, they also shed light on the potential areas of improvement, particularly in fostering civic engagement. Overall, this study underscored the transformative potential of a well-structured academic service-learning curriculum in enriching student learning experiences, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application, and cultivating a deeper sense of civic responsibility.
