写作即表达，表达即生命——当前我国中学写作教学之批判与反思

Writing Is Expression, Expression Is Life --Critic and Reflection on Writing Teaching in Middle School Currently in China

中学写作教学总体状况令人担忧。写作教学依附于阅读教学，写作教学的方式方法基本上停留在经验层面，而且严重脱离学生的生活体验，脱离当代社会。学生对写作不感兴趣，教学效率低下，不健康文风盛行，都值得我们警惕与反思。这样的写作教学背离了写作活动的生命本质。写作即表达，表达即生命，写作教学必须关注学生的精神成长与人格发展，关注学生的心理感受与兴趣需要，应该变学生的“被动式写作”为“主动式写作”。为此，应着手建立以“表达”为核心的基于精神成长与人格发展需要的写作教学体系，将写作习惯与态度、写作的审美标准与趣味、写作创造与写作思维的教育纳入教学内容。

A worrying situation exists in middle schools where the teaching of writing depends on the teaching of reading and the strategies as well as approaches employed are based on personal experience, which is far from students＇ real life and the real world. Not only should we be alerted to but also reflect on the loss of students＇ interest in writing, the low efficiency of teaching, and the prevalence of unhealthy writing style, all of which is contrary to the nature of writing, that of life. To write is to express and to express is to live, and thus, the teaching of writing is to cultivate students＇ minds and their personalities as well as seeing to their emotions and interests, and to change the ＂passive writing＂ into ＂active writing＂. Hence, we need to establish a system under which the core of teaching writing is to encourage the students to ＂express＂ and to develop their mentality and character. Teachers, therefore, should integrate into the classroom the students＇ writing habits and attitudes, aesthetic standards and appre- ciation, and the way of thinking so as to guide the students to write independently and, most importantly, creatively.
