This research focuses on five schools in the Wenzhou overseas Chinese hometown to investigate the current status of English education from the perspectives of teachers, students, and textbooks. The aim was to propose bilingual education strategies for the education of transnational left-behind children. By examining the situation of English education in this specific context, this study sought to address the unique challenges faced by transnational left-behind children and provide effective educational approaches. Interviews, observations, and document analysis were employed to gather data by means of qualitative research methods. The findings of this study settled on the improvement of bilingual education for transnational left-behind children and insights into enhancing English education in multicultural settings.
