AB - The shared book reading experience is hailed as a cornerstone for children’s language development and academic success in their later years. However, relatively little research has been done in Korean preschoolers’ English book reading. This study aimed to investigate Korean mothers’ communication behaviors and their use of questioning when they share books with their children in home settings. Seventeen mothers and their 4- to 6-year-old (Korean age) children from middle income families participated in the study. They shared one Korean and one English book and audio-recorded their readings, followed by an online questionnaire. Their recordings were transcribed verbatim into the CHILDES program and then analyzed into 13 communication behaviors. A paired samples t-test revealed that the Korean mothers used evaluation more often when they read the Korean book than they did with the English book, while they used translation and directives more often in reading the English book. As for questioning, the mothers preferred to use recall prompts the most, asking about aspects of the story on average; however, the question types did not make any differences in both language readings. Some pedagogical discussions are addressed for the parents and educators who teach English through book reading.
