Abstract
English is an important tool for international communication. With the accelerated development of globalization, the significance of learning English has been increasingly prominent. It is common for students in China to learn English from primary school, so it is a key stage to lay a foundation for English learning. The traditional way of teaching English in primary school tends to be boring and for a variety of reasons, the teaching result is not that satisfied in this way. This essay explores the influences of involving English picture books in English teaching for primary school through a method of literature review. In the key part of this essay, there are three main parts including the definition of English picture books, the impacts of involving English picture books in primary school English education, and strategies for Applying English Picture Books to English education in primary school. This essay is trying to illustrate that involving English picture books in primary school English education can benefit students in many dimensions and give some suggestions of what educators can do to promote English learning in the future.
