In the Chinese class, one of the indispensable factors in the interaction between teachers and students is asking questions. Whether it is questions from teachers and students or questions between students, they are of great help to students in their Chinese learning process. This research is a mixed method research, mainly through classroom observation, interviews and questionnaires to collect data. We observed the comprehensive courses of 7 classes in the Chinese Department of Bunda Mulia University. We found most of the teachers’ questions in the classroom are about the content of the text and exercises; when asking questions, most teachers let student answer question willingly; when there are no students to answer the questions, the teachers chose student by roll call to answer question, and students who answer questions are also selected based on the difficulty of the questions; most of the questions asked by teachers are application questions, comprehension questions and information questions; when confirming students' proficiency in language point applications, teachers generally use application questions to ask questions; teachers generally use comprehension questions when confirming students' understanding of text content; informative questions are generally used by teachers to confirm a student's understanding of a text's information.
