语文教学改革中的“吕叔湘之问”

“Lv Shuxiang's Question” in Teaching Reform in Chinese Language and Literature

吕叔湘曾问:"中小学语文课用了最多的课时,为什么效果却那么差?"本文认为原因是语文课未能专注于语文即正确运用祖国语言,目标被淡化甚至被分化,已经走在异化的路上。本世纪初以来,又因课标关于"工具性与人文性统一"这一缺乏科学性的论述而愈走愈远。语言不是工具,语文课程属于人文课程。它的任务就是引导学生认真关注"怎么说"的言语形式,品味语文,激活人文,坚持朝着正确运用祖国语言文字的这一个方向不断努力。

This essay aims to answer ＂Lv Shuxiang＇s question＂ concerning the contrast between the enormous amount of Chinese class in basic education and its unsatisfactory effect. It is proposed that Chinese class has failed to realize its purpose of teaching students to utilize mother tongue correctly. Its original purpose has been weakened and even derailed. Furthermore, the unscientific statement of the unification of instrumentality and humanity in the class standard since the beginning of this century places Chinese class into disorder. Language is not a tool. Chinese class is one of the humanity classes, and its goal is to guide students to contemplate the linguistic form, to taste language, to activate humanistic connotation, to make continuous effort on using mother tongue correctly.
