论语文教育是心学教育——兼评语文教育“工具”说

Language Education as the Soul Development

语文教育的内容是语言及语言作品,而语言是心灵的符号,语言作品是心灵的肖像,所以语言教育的性质就是心学教育。与语文教育"心学"说相对立的语文教育"工具"说,在语言的本体、生成、归属等根本问题上对语言的性质作了错误的认定,也就对语文教育的性质作了错误的认定,导致了语文教育的危机。为了纠正语文教育"工具"说的偏失,要以"心学教育"作为语文教育的走向,以"着眼心灵"作为语文教育的母题去施教。

The content of language education is language and language works while language is the symbol of the soul, and language works are the portrait of the soul. The nature of language education is, therefore, the soul development.Contrary to the 'soul' approach is the view of language education as an 'instrument'. The 'instrument' view is a wrong assumption of the nature of language in terms of some fundamental issues like language as such, the making of language, and categorization of language, etc., hence a wrong assumption of the nature of language education as well as a cause to the crisis of language education. To counteract the 'instrument' view, we should therefore advocate the 'soul development' as a guide for language education and classroom teaching.
