Before the experiment, the researcher pretested the child of the dyad using the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (PPVT) and the Children Oral Expression Ability Test (COEAT). Then, the researcher retested the child after a mother-child co-reading activity of four Chinese picture story books and four Korean (the mother language of the newly-immigrated mother) picture story books (they read two books a week). During the co-reading activity, the researcher collected data via audio and video recording, andalso observed and interviewed the subjects. Then, the researcher intervened and taught the newly-immigrated mother some skills of Dialogic Reading (DR). Finally, the researcher took a post-test to the child after a mother-child co-reading activity of four Chinese picture story books and four Korean (the mother language of the newly-immigrated mother) picture story books (they read two books a week), and compared the results of pre-test and post-test. This study used the qualitative research method, and aimed to describe the method of interaction and the growth of the newly-immigrated mother and child during the mother-child Dialogic Reading (DR) process, through recording and analyzing the language interaction, body movement, and emotional expression between the mother and the child. Based on the data analyses, the major findings of this study were summarized as follows: 1. The mother-child Dialogic Reading (DR) can enhance and enrich the interaction and emotional bond between the mother and the child. 2.
