Abstract

This pilot study evaluates bilingualism within the context of the pre-KG Arabic speaking children to English language literacy through their caretakers and domestic workers, for any KG language instruction basis to build on.  The study is conducted within a population of Saudi Arabia where English language is barely embraced as a medium of communication, besides the society's high domestic workers per household rate. The method the study uses is a mix of cross-sectional; observing the children, and interviewing their parents. A sample is drawn from the odd informal teaching-learning environment represented in 6 below 5-year-old children from 6 volunteer households. The method used in the study is (the descriptive analytical method). Through its findings, the study lays down several benchmarks for kindergarten English language teaching materials that would provide the currently improvised ones.
