小学语文教材改进之我见

On the Perfection of Chinese Language Textbooks for Primary Schools

不集中识字是两岸三地现行小学语文教材的特色,这种教学方法跟教学目标背道而驰,教材与语言脱节,不符合儿童的学习心理。因此,在小学语文教育中应施行"集中识字"、"识字教育与书法教育分途"、"语文教学与诗歌教学紧密配合"等改革创新。同时,语文教育应吸收传统蒙学的优点。最终,希望中国的语文教育,使学生们经过小学与中学的十二年教育,无论是阅读或写作,都能纯熟地运用文言与白话两种文体,充分了解前人的智慧与经验,并表达自己的情感与意见。这样,"弘扬中华民族的文化"的语文教学总目标才不致流于口头,才能落实生根。

Neglecting ＂rapid literacy in Chinese＂ is the main defect embodied in primary school Chinese language teaching textbooks in both China's Mainland and Taiwan.This kind of teaching method runs counter to the curriculum teaching objectives,and the teaching materials themselves cannot meet the requirements for language improvement,falling short of children＇s learning psychology.Therefore,such innovative attempts should be implemented in the Chinese language education for primary school students as ＂rapid literacy in Chinese＂,＂separation of literacy education from calligraphy training＂,and ＂close interaction between language education and poetic edification＂.Meanwhile,Chinese language education should draw on the advantages of traditional elementary learning practices in ancient China.Ultimately,we hope that the Chinese language education in primary and secondary schools can prepare students,going through twelve years of Chinese language education,well enough to understand the wisdom and experience of their predecessors and to communicate their ideas and emotions either through reading or writing and either in classical Chinese or in modern Chinese language.Only in this way can we substantially meet the overall objective of Chinese language education,namely,＂carrying forward the fine traditions of the Chinese culture＂.
