Tóm tắt

In the context of increasing emphasis on content and language integrated learning in primary education, the development of learning materials that simultaneously support science learning and English language use has attracted growing attention. This study adopted a learning-material development approach to propose a structure, a set of design principles, and a design process for bilingual comics in primary science education through the integration of scientific content, English language learning, and digital technology. Based on an analysis of studies on educational comics, multimodal learning materials, and Content and Language Integrated Learning, a six-step design process was developed and applied to create a collection of 12 bilingual comics covering six topics in Grade 4 and Grade 5 Science. The process was further illustrated through the bilingual comic An Unexpected Journey developed for the topic Mixtures and Solutions. The findings provide a useful reference for the design and use of bilingual comics in primary science education following an integrated science-and-language approach.
