Abstract—Bilingual education of young children is one of the international research hotspots. As a world's most populous nation, China has done abundant research on this topic and pay more attention on the teachers. This study collected 123 valid documents in the full-text database of CNKI. Based on the overall situation analysis of the published documents in the past years, the keywords were analyzed with respect to frequency, co-occurrence, co-word clustering and multidimensional Scale. Combing with the above results, the research classifies research hotspots into four categories: (a) Research on the development of professional competence of pre-school bilingual teachers; (b) Research on teacher training for pre-school bilingual teachers; (c) Research on bilingual teachers in ethnic minority areas; (d) Research on teaching strategies of pre-school bilingual teachers.Based on the above research, this study puts forward the important tasks of current research and future research trends in order to provide some ideas for follow-up research.
