ABSTRACT

This study investigated the effect of bibliotherapy on emotion regulation competence and language learning outcomes, using theme-based English picture books with left-behind children who had experienced parental absence that caused the frequent expression of negative emotions. To examine its effectiveness, 90 participants were recruited and divided into three groups: a bibliotherapeutic treatment group, a semi-treatment group, and a control group. The data were analyzed via a paired samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation analysis. The results revealed that bibliotherapy with specific theme-based English picture books worked effectively in improving left-behind children’s emotion regulation competence and later their English proficiency. Some implications and suggestions for school counselling projects and future studies are offered and discussed.
