Return to life and make Chinese teaching life-oriented. How to return Chinese teaching to life

American educationist Walter pointed out: "The extension of Chinese is equal to the extension of life." Teaching activities are part of human life. Teaching without life is meaningless, and Chinese teaching cannot be separated from life. , Chinese is everywhere in life. The "Chinese Curriculum Standards" also points out: "Chinese courses must be more comprehensive, communicate with other subjects, and communicate with life." Chinese is coexisting with life, and the world of learning Chinese is very broad. When teaching, teachers should place teaching activities in the real life background, stimulate students' strong desire to participate in activities as the main body of life, and obtain dynamic knowledge, so that their sentiments can be truly cultivated.

1. Let Chinese teaching return to life. Endowing Chinese with vitality

In the past, Chinese teaching focused on the imparting of knowledge and skill training. It was teaching Chinese textbooks and rarely examined teaching activities from the perspective of students’ lives, resulting in the failure of Chinese teaching. a burden on student life. Therefore, integrating Chinese teaching with students’ lives, taking the path of life-oriented Chinese teaching, and returning Chinese teaching to life should be a return to the original nature of Chinese teaching. Every text in the textbook comes from life. When teaching, teachers should take students as the starting point, stay close to life, and encourage students to use life standards to judge life manuscripts, interpret life experiences, interpret Chinese materials, and speak out Have your own unique experience, realize a dialogue with the text, and be truly inspired by it. Only in this way can Chinese language be given the vitality of life, allowing students to actively and independently explore, understand life, learn to live, transform life, and become the masters of life in a vast world.

1. Realize dialogue with text. Because the denotation of Chinese language is equal to the denotation of life, in Chinese teaching, efforts should be made to shorten the distance between text and life, so that the learning content returns to the living world, so that students can understand the Chinese language in daily life learning, which is conducive to students' emotional development. excitation. In classroom teaching, teachers often ask questions like: "If you were so-and-so in the text, what would you say and do?" Guide students to imagine and talk to the characters in the text, "making friends through literature." , play a role in it, experience and feel. For example, when teaching the article "Toward Life" in Volume 12, the teacher can ask the students: "If you were a school newspaper reporter, when you met Mrs. Roosevelt, what questions would you ask her? What would Mrs. Roosevelt do? What's the answer?" The wonderful thing about reading is that it can break the boundaries of time and space and have "conversations" with "friends" who are thousands of years old and thousands of miles away. This creates a platform for students to talk to their ancestors and celebrities. It not only provides a cultural The process of transmission further promotes the emotional and spiritual sublimation of students.

2. Get closer to the text. Chinese language carries the important task of inheriting the culture and national spirit of the motherland. It has extremely rich cultural connotations and extremely brilliant humanistic spirit. It is the unshirkable responsibility of Chinese language to nurture future generations with the excellent culture and national spirit of mankind. However, because some people involved in culture or There is a large distance in time and space between things and students, and students are often not comprehensive enough in their understanding, and may even have some deviations. When teaching, we can organize students to go to the library, the Internet, and the society to check and find relevant information to deepen their understanding of life in the text. For example, when teaching Volume 12 "Borrowing Arrows from Straw Boats", students did not understand "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the social reality of "one country into three parts" in Chinese history. In order to shorten the distance between students and the text, students can use various channels to collect some information about the text before teaching. Based on the resources shared during class, studying the text content not only enables students to fully understand the history of our country's "one country and three parts", but also has a deeper understanding of the social situation of the feudal society competing for hegemony at that time, and expands their learning space. Increased opportunities for language practice.

3 Reproduce the situation in the text. Most of the texts in Chinese textbooks are close to real life. It is not difficult to understand and read it. The difficulty lies in how to understand its connotation through words.

For example, some families have a strong reading atmosphere, so they can ask parents to organize students' reading newspapers or text-learning activities; some parents are busy with business, etc., so they ask students to design advertisements for their parents to solicit business, or let students Become a "little boss" yourself and increase your accumulation and experience of life.

3. Learn Chinese in connection with social life. The "Chinese Curriculum Standards" point out: "Chinese must communicate inside and outside the classroom, make full use of educational resources such as school, family and community, carry out comprehensive learning activities, broaden students' learning space, and increase opportunities for learning Chinese practice." Indeed, the broad social background It provides students with a world for learning Chinese, and the process of students' expansion from school to society and to life can also be realized in various forms. (1) Individual activities: Go to the streets to look at stores, understand the meaning, and taste the meaning. Students will use their innocent feelings to interpret each store name; and like the exquisite phrase on the billboard, "Today's quality is tomorrow's market." Refined traffic warnings, such as "I wish you a long life and a safe journey", etc., enable students to not only learn the language, enrich their vocabulary, but also broaden their horizons; learn to observe, which greatly mobilizes students' enthusiasm and enthusiasm for learning. initiative. (2) Group activities: Group activities organized by the school, such as visiting the experimental base, visiting the tombs of martyrs during Qingming Festival, showing love to nursing homes on Respect for the Aged Day, spring outings and other meaningful activities, also have an important and far-reaching impact on students. It places Chinese in social life, opens a window for students to understand society, greatly enriches students' life experience, and allows them to enjoy Chinese everywhere and always in their lives. (3) Make full use of educational resources outside the school. For example, tourist attractions, libraries, and educational bases in our hometown are all good educational resources for traditional culture. We can use these resources to guide students to learn and explore in the social environment, actively carry out comprehensive Chinese activities, and improve students’ practical ability.

Practice has proved that if it is closely connected with life, Chinese teaching will be lively and interesting. Teachers will be happy to teach and students will be happy to learn, and get twice the result with half the effort; if it is separated from life, Chinese teaching will be boring, teachers will be tired from teaching, and students will learn hard. Double the result with half the result. Only by leading students into life, returning to life, setting up real-life situations for students, and absorbing students' personal life experiences can Chinese teaching have a source of living water, students' comprehensive Chinese ability will continue to improve, and Chinese language will be displayed It has endless charm due to its powerful vitality.
