Let children write true and naturally

What is currently confused by educators is that the writing of the comprehensive level of Chinese has not got rid of the current situation of lack of creativity with the increase of children's reading. Expressing false caves and false ideas is a subject facing Chinese teaching.

The reporter interviewed the first -tier Chinese teachers and senior practitioners in Chengdu, Shanghai and other places to explore how to innovate children's language education, let children express and write naturally and real, and how to grow spiritual growth and cultural innovation through Chinese teaching. seed.

Writing, starting with rejection of excessive training

With the progress of society, children's cognition and vision have changed dramatically than their parents, and their knowledge sources are richer and have a wider growth space.

In campus Chinese teaching, many teachers feel that as the children have increased their self -awareness, the first level of writing- "dare not write" has basically disappeared, but the creativity and expressiveness of the article are still lacking. Fake empty empty "composition still exists. The elaborate words are very gorgeous to read, but they can't go into the reader's mind and cannot read emotions.

"To let the children get out of the state of excessive training, they need to pay more effort." Hu Jiayi, deputy dean of Xueyuefeng Yong Yong College and a doctor of literature from Fudan University, has exposed to many high school age in more than 10 years of youthful Chinese teaching experience Children, they have received too many rules in previous education, blindly catering to the "correct answers" of the people's preferences and meeting the evaluation standards, and regard writing as a fixed model.

Hu Jiazhen believes that now children think more and think more, but at age and experience, it is difficult to make the "self" and the written connection with what they read. If children's writing is just to meet adult standards, it is difficult to show their true self. In the long run, their expression, personality, and even thinking ability will be damaged.

The "Language Education Psychology" compiled by Dong Beifei, a professor at the School of Teachers' Education of East China Normal University, explained that composition is a psychological process for students to transform thinking activities into language expression. In this psychological process, there is a very important and often neglected factor, that is, conversion.

In the conversion, the brain needs to convert non -linear, logical and autonomous thinking into linear, logical and communication internal languages, and then convert the internal language into external languages ​​by continuous expansion and deletion. Express.

Hu Jiazhen believes that young children should not "write" too early, "real writing must be based on their own experience and feelings of the world, self, and soul."

"Children's true and natural expression is touching." Hu Jiayu believes that in the enlightenment education of Chinese, educators need to sincerely understand and respect their children, and do not easily deny and wipe the children's feelings.

Behind the child's expression of emptiness may be a lack of connection with life, or it may be that the inner feelings have not been fully displayed. Liang Shujuan, a graduate student of the Chinese Department of Fudan University, who had been reading and writing products at Xueyuefeng Yong Academy, observed that the children have spent too little time to get along with "themselves", and parents cannot see their children free. "If the child's self -space is squeezed out, how can it be possible to discover and organize the self -experience and establish a rich connection with the external world?"

Four years ago, a elementary school student's composition, "My Hidden in the Corner" became popular. The article came from You Yixuan, who was studying at the fifth grade of the primary school in Lhasa Road in Nanjing at that time. His father mentioned in the interview that the children's Chinese teacher has always encouraged writing to "tell the truth".

He wrote his dream: "My name is You Yixuan, and I want to be a carpenter. If you have sugar, I still want to eat it." He wrote the confusion of the studies: "I think I feel lonely and helpless, and it becomes from the open tulip incense. The tulip is closed. "He wrote himself:" Not everyone can't stay in the corner, because the flowers in the corner are as fragrant, and I am the one who hides in the corner. "

Educators should be soberly realized that the perspective of children today has changed. In fact, children can also think seriously. The answer to thinking is not necessarily "right", and correctness is not the only important thing for children.

Letting children write back to "innocence" is also a view that has attracted much attention in recent years. Many interviewed teachers and researchers emphasized that the "innocence" here cannot be understood by narrow senses as the immatureness and simplicity of expressions and words, otherwise deliberately pursuing "childlike" will become another shackles expressed by children.

"My students have drew the" horror story 'as a pen -practicing work, and also give me a box that can be stretched into a mirror with the story with the story to ensure that I can' scare me. "Chengdu experimental primary school youth language teacher Li Peiyi's writing is not limited to the child's writing. Practicing has become her favorite assignment every day, and she often receives surprises.

Li Peiyi observed that the depth and breadth of the children's reading now are beyond her expectations, and the complexity of the thought brought by the child is not the same as the past. In the third grade students, she saw prose, oil poems, ancient poems, modern poems, fairy tales, detective novels, and horror stories ... The text may be stubborn, but the child is very interesting.

In the next semester of the third grade, a child named Xi ’s" quiet life ". The child told her seriously: "Xi Zuoten wants to record my life, and whenever I record it, I feel very peaceful." Li Peiyi felt very touching. For children with free expression space, the significance of writing is no longer the meaning of writing. It is just a record that it also provides a place for the soul. Chinese, sowing the seeds of spiritual growth

Chinese teaching is not only related to language learning, literary fun training, but also the cultivation of underlying ability. Liang Shujuan believes that language is closely related to emotions and thinking. Through the text carrier, he can sort out his life experience and gain spiritual growth. "The purpose of teaching writing is not to let the children go to be a writer, but to pry and inspire their thoughts and emotions by writing."

In April this year, the "Compulsory Education Curriculum Plan and Curriculum Standard (2022 Edition)" was released, which made the course goal of "core literacy" landing again. Compared with the 2011 version of the Chinese curriculum standards, the new version of the curriculum standard is significantly different in terms of Chinese teaching content, and it also emphasizes the implementation strategies such as "cluster" and "integration".

"The space for learning is not just a classroom, campus, city, and even a whole world can become the school of children." Liao Tingting, a special teacher in Qingyang District, Chengdu, Chengdu Garden (International) Primary School Chinese Teacher Liao Ting. "After the" double reduction ", the teacher pays more attention to letting the children walk out of the classroom, enter the campus, walk into life, and learn Chinese. The cherry on the campus is red and the ginkgo yellow is yellow.

Since the "double reduction", the scoring mechanism that has been implemented to the roll surface has been diluted, eliminating the anxiety of the roll scores to a certain extent, and provided a larger space for the truly improvement of children's writing ability. Requirements.

How do I teach? Liao Tingting believes that the new curriculum standard gives a guiding answer, that is, the "cultural self -confidence", "language use", "thinking ability", and "aesthetic creation" of cultivating children from cultivating the target. Require. To understand the new curriculum standards, it can help young teachers solve the problem of inaccurate teaching.

"To say that human civilization can be retained through language and words. We arrived in civilization by reading and trying to integrate themselves into the world by writing." Liang Shujuan said, "Children's early reading and writing education is sowing a small seed, Storage for this long journey. "
