Abstract

Past research on the issues and methods of drama-based and music-based activities on early childhood language learning has been investigated. However, related research on Chinese primary students remains unclear. The present study aims to analyse various teaching activities worldwide, including teaching aims, methods and results. Moreover, it will compare relative issues between a Chinese context and worldwide. Nine drama-based activities will be discussed, including five western students and four Chinese studies; Ten music-based activities will be explained, including eight western studies and two Chinese studies. The results show that drama-based activities in early childhood language learning were developed systematically with corresponding teaching methods such as “role-playing”, “script-writing”, and “text interpretation”. Music-based activities in early childhood language learning were analysed through teaching models among music teaching and language therapy, sensory simulations, materials and pedagogy. More studies need to look at music-based activities in early childhood language learning in both curriculum and teaching training in a Chinese context.
