Abstract

Language support in early childhood education includes questioning as a strategy to stimulate children in their cognitive and language development. In this paper, different questions (decid- ing, naming, describing, and explaining) used by 84 early childhood professionals in three dif- ferently structured everyday situations (dyadic bookreading, freeplay and mealtime in groups) are analysed. The results show that the professionals use (less stimulating) deciding and naming questions mainly, but hardly any (more stimulating) describing and explaining questions. The number of questions is higher in more structured situations than in less structured ones. As well, the professionals do not really adapt their questions to the children’s languages competencies.
