语言要怎么“教”才能达到“不需要教”——叶圣陶语文教育思想的启示

How to Teach Chinese to Achieve the Purpose of Not Teaching——With Comments on Ye Shengtao’s Chinese Pedagogical Thought

叶圣陶先生在20世纪60年代初提出了一句名言：“教是为了达到不需要教。”深刻地揭示了语文教学的真谛。长期以来语文教学收效甚微，关键在于没有朝着“不需要教”的目标努力。为了达到“不需要教”的理想境界，语文教师要改变“逐句讲解”和“精批细改”的陈旧方法，注重启发诱导，把学生真正当作学习语文的主人。

In the early 1960s, Ye Shengtao put forward that teaching is for not teaching, revealing profoundly the nature of Chinese teaching. Chinese teaching has long been less fruitful, which is mainly due to its deviation from the goal for ＂not teaching＂. To attain the ideal of ＂not teaching＂, Chinese teachers should abandon the old methods of careful correction and explaining sentence by sentence, adopt the method of elicitation and inducement, with students as the real masters of Chinese learning.
