The dilemma of Chinese teaching Teachers don't teach exams, they don't teach exams, they all rely on reading comprehension!
The dilemma of language teaching: the teacher doesn't take the test, the teacher doesn't take the test, everything depends on reading.
Why do students feel tired? In the past few years, the students' homework burden has been reduced, but the schoolwork is still very heavy. After reading this latest Chinese article, many people seem to understand it at once.
Some time ago, some parents complained to the Education Bureau, saying that teachers spent a lot of time on revision, but only tested reading comprehension, which not only did not reduce, but worsened year by year.
See the new 6th grade Chinese test questions, which are 6 pages long, including all reading comprehension questions.
Even a sixth-grade Chinese teacher may not be able to get good grades. In this regard, many netizens have spoken out, let's take a look:
So, why is this happening in today's language tests? What is the reason for this?
First of all, the new round of curriculum reform emphasizes learning Chinese well and being able to do anything, which also increases the difficulty of future Chinese tests. After the promulgation of the new curriculum standards, the proposition orientation of the college entrance examination has changed, and more and more emphasis has been placed on reading comprehension ability. Some experts put forward the view that language proficiency should be the top priority in the future, otherwise it will be difficult to learn any course well. On the other hand, if you learn the language well, the rest of the course will naturally be good. Looking at all the subjects nowadays, almost all of them are testing reading comprehension. Even in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and physics, the question types of the test are similar to those of Chinese reading comprehension, they are all very long questions, but they are all inconsequential things that need to be distinguished by students. Growing up in a language class, I never imagined that exams would be so difficult for a sixth-grader.
Overall, this language test is in line with the requirements of the new round of curriculum reform, which emphasizes the examination of students' reading comprehension skills.
Secondly, there is a big gap between language teaching and testing, and most language teachers are still using the traditional way. Although the new curriculum standards have put forward many new requirements for Chinese language teaching, most Chinese teachers still use this method. Even in the process of revision and preparation, the teaching of textbook knowledge and basic knowledge is still emphasized, and only in the new curriculum can the ability of reading comprehension be truly reflected. This is also where many parents complain: what the teacher teaches is different from the content of the exam.
Why do teachers do this?
First and foremost, teachers are the teachers on the front line, and they have the most say in the current students. Many students do not have a thorough understanding of the basics, and there are many words that they do not understand and do not know how to write. Secondly, many language teachers are also unable to find the right solution in reading. Since there is no definite answer, I will not explain it casually, so as not to be misleading.
All in all, in the current Chinese teaching and examination, two relatively independent wholes have been formed, and most Chinese teachers have not yet had a good way to improve the English reading level of modern college students.
Point 3: Now, experts overestimate the actual abilities of children, and many children do not have solid basic skills.
Many front-line teachers have the feeling that the difficulty of the exam is getting bigger and easier every year. They believe that experts are overestimating the current level of children and that the exam questions are simply too difficult.
This kind of problem is not only in Chinese classes, but also in mathematics and English. Teachers found that the difficulty of the questions was getting higher and higher, and many of the students' IQs were beyond their usual level. Children cannot fail to do well on the basis of book knowledge alone. As a result, teachers have to stuff more things into their classrooms, and many children have to participate in a variety of classes, which is also a big factor in their high learning pressure. The exams are so difficult that it is impossible for students to get high scores without walking into the classroom.
The current exam is naturally not to test the students' real learning ability, but to test whether they can hold them down, so the difficulty of the questions is gradually increasing.
All in all, the current language test is so difficult that many children can't understand it. Such tests can only increase the anxiety about education and increase the learning burden of students. In order to get good grades, many children have to go to a variety of tutoring classes, and teachers have to instill more knowledge in them outside of the classroom. In the current atmosphere of burden reduction, this is clearly contrary to the spirit of burden reduction. It is true that reducing the burden should not come at the expense of grades, but, after all, students' study time is limited, so how can we make it easier for them to learn? Are all children geniuses?
The goal of education is not to make every child a genius, but to recognize that every child has a natural personality. From this point of view, the difficulty of the question is too great, which is not in line with the laws of education and reality.
