There are several major problems in the current Chinese teaching, and if they do not change, they will ruin the children!
There are several major problems with the current language teaching that, if not corrected, will ruin our children!
Chinese has always been an important part of the subject, so our education system attaches great importance to Chinese teaching and examination, especially after the new curriculum reform, Chinese textbooks have undergone significant changes, and higher requirements have been put forward for teachers. However, after the implementation of some of the new textbooks, many Chinese teachers have reported that there are indeed some problems in the current Chinese teaching compared with the past, which need to be rectified urgently.
First of all, Chinese teaching focuses too much on reading and ignores the importance of vocabulary and basic knowledge, resulting in a situation where the cart is turned upside down. It is not that teachers do not pay attention to the teaching of basic knowledge to students, but they are affected by the current examination system.
The current language examinations involve almost no textbook knowledge, especially the very limited proportion of basic words. Most of the test questions focus on reading comprehension, and from the third grade onwards, the amount of time spent reading inside and outside the classroom gradually increases, causing teachers to focus on reading instruction and neglect the teaching of basic knowledge.
However, the consequence of this teaching method is that students have a weak language foundation, and many students have difficulties in sketching, vocabulary, not to mention basic writing skills. Due to the lack of a solid foundation, reading comprehension ability is also limited, resulting in students generally feeling difficult and boring in language learning.
Primary education must focus more on basic knowledge, and the current approach seems to lead to significant improvements in learning outcomes in the short term, but is doomed to be unsustainable in the long term.
Secondly, ancient poems are too proliferating in textbooks, which increases the learning pressure of students. It is undoubtedly a good thing to inherit the excellent traditional culture and improve the language literacy of students, so that they can understand extraordinary ancient poems. However, the proportion of ancient poems in the current Chinese textbooks is too high, and the number of ancient poems that need to be memorized is also quite large, which increases the academic burden of students.
Many students believe that the competition of the future society will be mainly based on science and technology, and that ancient poetry and literature will be relatively less practical in this regard. They believe that instead of concentrating on practical subjects such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, it is better to spend a lot of time memorizing ancient texts. In order to improve their Chinese scores, many students spend too much time on ancient poems, which makes them feel meaningless, but they have to meet the teaching requirements.
It is undeniable that there is a necessity in learning ancient poetry, but too much emphasis will outweigh the losses. In teaching, it is necessary to take into account the inheritance of traditional culture and the actual needs of students, so as to guide students to learn ancient poems more reasonably.
Viewpoint 3: The gradual increase in the difficulty of reading classics weakens students' interest in reading.
In order to encourage students to read more, the current language examination emphasizes the reading of famous works. However, the difficulty of studying the reading of classics has gradually increased, and it has become a heavy burden for students. As the content of the test deepens and the difficulty of the test increases, students feel lost and lose interest in reading.
On the one hand, students do not have enough time for in-depth reading, and on the other hand, the test questions are too complex, and many children say that it is difficult to find the answers even after reading the famous books several times. They questioned the importance of examining these strange questions that digressed so far.
Far from stimulating students' interest in reading, this kind of examination will make students bored with the subject and even hate the language. This kind of learning style is a kind of interference for both teachers and students, and also has a serious impact on improving students' language literacy.
In general, as a language tool, the improvement of language literacy should not only rely on reading comprehension and ancient poetry. The current language teaching seems to be irrational in the strict sense of the word, and even a kind of paralysis for students.
Most students put more time and effort into language learning, but they achieve the worst results. Children who were originally interested in reading have also lost interest in reading and even become bored with Chinese classes. What's the point of this rootless approach to learning?
Final Thoughts: Chinese teaching should cultivate students' love for reading and a kind, grateful and keen heart, so that students can feel the beauty of literature and the wonder of language. For this, a quiet form of education is needed. However, the current Chinese teaching is too utilitarian, blindly pursuing high scores, ignoring the psychological characteristics of students, and not paying attention to children's interests and hobbies. In the long run, it will not only destroy Chinese teaching, but also destroy children's yearning for the beauty of literature.
