And as an indispensible part of classroom teaching, classroom questioning is an essential means of classroom intercommunication and an important method for training student's language skills. Novice teacher is a special group; they are not merely the advanced learner of teaching Chinese as second language learner, but also the new teachers of teaching Chinese as second language. The research of the novice teachers in the classroom questioning can help us probe into the actual classroom activity, collect and classify the problems existing in class, and provide the basis and the reference for the novice teachers training in future.The thesis uses the natural investigation to collect data from 6 novice teachers, 300-minute teaching videos. By analyzing the amount of questions, the question types (including contents and forms), questioning strategies, teacher's feedback and teachers' waiting-time, the thesis summarizes the characteristics of the novice teacher's questioning in TCSL intensive reading class, then presents some existing problem, and finally gives some corresponding suggestions.
