读图时代的外国文学教学——以《美国文学》为例

Foreign Literature Teaching in Graph Reading Age——Taking American Literature as an Example

随着读图时代的到来,人们的阅读模式发生了很大变化,传统的严肃的经典阅读正渐次被愉悦化的浅阅读所替代,相应地,高校外语专业文学课的地位也在不断地被边缘化。文学的重要性与其不断被弱化的地位形成尖锐矛盾,于是,如何让学生的目光再次回归经典就成为外国文学教学中需要迫切解决的问题。而在个人无力扭转社会大趋势的情形下,与其一味地谴责学生,不如顺应潮流,因势利导,在新环境、新时代寻找新的解决办法。

With the coming of graph reading age, people＇s reading mode has changed a lot. The traditional reading of classics is being gradually replaced by leisure-reading. Consequently, literature classes for English majors in colleges and universities are marginalized. The contradiction between the significance of literature and the declination of the position becomes sharper. Thus the urgent problem is how to arouse students＇ interest in the classic works. Now this change can not rely on any person. We should try to find some new ways based on the new situation, not just criticizing the students.
