Abstract
This study investigated young children''s self-regulating functions of private speech and explored the relationship of the function in types of activities and phases of activities based on Vygotsky theory framework. There were thirty 4- and 6- year-old children through observations selected randomly in the study. Data coded through Manning（1996）private speech content classification and revealed a total of 338 events observed. Reliability and validity were established. Besides, data were analyzed by applying descriptive statistics, chi-square, two-way mixed design ANOVA and two-way mixed design MANOVA. The results of the study were summarized as follows:
1. Young children expressed self-regulating functions of private speech included "affect expression", "commenting" ," questioning"（off-task） ," questioning"（non-facilitative）," focusing, describing", "questioning"（facilitative）, and "correcting", "coping" ," reinforcing" and "solving".
2. Correlations among children’s types of activities and phases of activities were found no significant.
3. There was no significant difference in self-regulating functions of private speech in respect of types of activities.
4. There was significant difference in self-regulating functions of private speech in respect of phases of activities.
5. It achieved significant differences in sorts of self-regulating functions of private speech including "describing" in the early phase of activity, "affect expression", "describing" and "directing" in the middle phase of activity and "questioning", "coping" , "reinforcing" , and "problem solving" in the later phase of activity.
Based on the above results, discussions and implications were provided for understanding the self-regulating functions of children''s private speech and the effects of types of activities and phases of activities. Furthermore, future researches were proposed.
