Abstract

This paper analyzes the factors affecting the development of language teaching in young children based on the five domains of language teaching in young children. Teachers’ teaching behaviors, kindergarten environmental language, and language activities were selected as the 3 dimensions of kindergarten language teaching organizational climate, and the relationship with the 3 dimensions of language teaching was defined. Based on the relationship definition, the initial hypothesis was set, and the AMOS structural equation model of the influence of kindergarten organizational climate on language teaching was constructed. The PLS and LISREL modeling methods of structural equation modeling were used to analyze the 3 dimensions influencing language teaching and learning of young children, and the factors influencing language teaching and learning of young children were analyzed in multiple clusters from different domains and class teaching sizes. There were significant differences in the standardized regression coefficients of the structural model for the five domains of instructional activities, i.e., X2 / df = 1.68, df = 55, and p = 0.02. There were significant differences in the standardized regression coefficients of the structural model for class size, i.e., X2 / df = 1.8903, df = 27, and p = 0.008.
