Abstract
E-books are now being used more and more widely in English language learning. There are still some doubts about the impact of e-books on Chinese preschoolers’ English learning, especially vocabulary learning. Meanwhile, the quality of existing e-books varies, and educators and parents need some guidance in choosing appropriate e-books for preschoolers. This study examines the effects of e-books on English vocabulary acquisition and cognitive development of Chinese preschoolers. The study combines various language developmental ability during the critical period with the advantages of e-books, revealing that e-books significantly contribute to children's language and cognitive development. Through a comprehensive literature analysis, the study found that e-books enhance vocabulary acquisition and cognitive skills. In addition, this study provides educators and parents with guidance on choosing appropriate e-books for young children.
