Go back to the source and read the classics - Thoughts after reading "Ye Shengtao Chinese Education Essays"
Mentioning Mr. Ye Shengtao, I immediately I think of his story of "little teacher, great literacy" and his famous saying that is widely circulated in the education circle - "teaching is for the sake of not teaching." As for Mr. Ye Shengtao's Chinese education books, I have never read any of them, which I feel ashamed to say.
In early September, teacher Zhao Peili asked the studio members to read Mr. Ye Shengtao's "Collected Works on Chinese Education" by Mr. Ye Shengtao. The purpose is to enable teachers to draw professional nutrition from this classic work on Chinese education. During the dialogue, keep reading, thinking, practicing, and writing, thereby making your Chinese classroom teaching more effective and calmer.
After receiving the book from online shopping, I couldn’t wait to open it. Holding this heavy classic book (540 pages, 526,000 words), I secretly made up my mind to read with concentration every day, keep recording my experiences, and strive to grow. Own. Next, I will read the preface of the book and the content of "Twenty Rhymes of Chinese Teaching" by Mr. Ye Shengtao, and talk about my simple thoughts and gains.
1. Preface
Mr. Lu Shuxiang once said: "Ten years and more than 2,700 class hours were used to learn the native language, but most of them failed to pass the test. Isn't it outrageous? Strange thing!" Mr. Lu's words are worth pondering for every Chinese educator. Why are our Chinese classes so inefficient? I think we may be able to find the answer from Mr. Ye Shengtao's book.
1. Two core issues in Chinese education thought
Mr. Lu Shuxiang said in the preface, “Anyone who is concerned about current issues in Chinese education should read this collection. ". Because this collection of papers is based on Mr. Ye Shengtao's more than 60 years of experience in Chinese teaching, editing, and publishing, he analyzes and expounds the pros and cons of Chinese education, and it has important practical significance for current Chinese education and teaching.
There are two core issues in Mr. Ye Shengtao’s Chinese education thoughts: One is about the nature of the Chinese subject: Chinese is a tool, an indispensable tool for daily life. Writing is a tool for recording language, and language is a tool for communicating ideas, so everyone must learn writing, learn Chinese, and learn Chinese well. Tools are not the ultimate goal, they are a medium to help us achieve our goals.
The second is the task of teaching Chinese. Teaching Chinese is to help students develop good habits of using Chinese. Good habits will serve us and our students throughout our lives.
The purpose of Chinese education is not to cultivate "living bookcases" with extensive memorization, "human parrots" with clever tongues, or "Confucian students" who teach and read for a living. Many ordinary people have learned Chinese as a tool and are good at using it in their daily lives.
2. Three major shortcomings of Chinese teaching
Mr. Ye Shengtao pointed out three major shortcomings of the old Chinese teaching in the book, which are specifically reflected in:
First, in In reading teaching, the content of what is read is unduly emphasized, while the laws of the language itself are placed in a secondary position. "In addition to technical training, Chinese language teaching must also contain educational significance." "Morality must be put into practice, and consciousness must be turned into action." It is true that Chinese language cannot ignore the educational significance, but it is not its sole responsibility. The only discipline of any kind.
The second is to require imitation of a set of procedures in composition teaching. The so-called eight-part spirit means not saying what you want to say, speaking in a certain tone, talking big words and empty words. This is also a common phenomenon that still exists in current composition teaching. Mr. Ye Shengtao has a vivid description of stylized composition: "If you can figure out the meaning of the topic and the intention of the person who asked the topic, click the tune, and babbling for a while, it counts as your skill; if you encounter a helpless topic, you can make something out of nothing. , talk nonsense, but also have a tinkling tone, which shows your talent even more.
”
Composition teaching should encourage students to use innovative forms, vivid language, tell the truth, and write true words, rather than blindly speaking for saints. This should be a beautiful scenery in our composition teaching.
Third, reading and writing are not to increase knowledge, express thoughts, or express feelings, but to cope with exams. Mr. Ye Shengtao has a unique view on "examinations" - you will always face exams throughout your life, and just writing. Generally speaking, writing a letter and making a report are actually exams, but they are usually called "tests" and not "exams." Students learn composition not for temporary semester exams and entrance exams, but for a need for expression.
If teachers can set a good example, insist on daily writing, apply what they have learned, and find ways to make students enjoy the joy of writing and then enjoy the expression of love, then Chinese language will truly become a flesh-and-blood fusion with us. An inseparable part will become possible.
3. The role of teachers
According to Mr. Ye Shengtao, the goal of Chinese teaching is mainly to cultivate students' various abilities: to develop reading. The ability to read books, cultivate the ability to appreciate literature, and train writing skills. To achieve this goal, the role of the teacher as a guide is very important. What is more important than this is the student's active learning attitude.
The fundamental issues in pedagogy are "teaching" and "learning", "speaking" and "listening". Mr. Ye Shengtao believes that teaching is to "teach" students to "learn", and the role of teachers is to teach students to learn and use them throughout their lives. method. The ultimate goal is to "no longer need to teach, but students can study and solve by themselves" and "can understand by themselves by writing a paper." This is the broad road of teaching. p>
“Teach for the sake of not teaching. " is the core view of Mr. Ye Shengtao. "Teaching" reflects the leading role of teachers, and "not teaching" reflects the main role of students. Through the teacher's careful "speaking" and interesting "speaking", we can cultivate students' innovative ability and let them In the process of practice, discover yourself, see yourself, and truly realize: you can read by yourself without waiting for the teacher to teach you, and you can write by yourself without waiting for the teacher to modify. If the teacher's training must achieve these two points, it will be a success in teaching.
2. Twenty Rhymes of Chinese Teaching
In "Twenty Rhymes of Chinese Teaching", Mr. Ye Shengtao described his educational feelings in plain and simple language and clarified the true meaning of Chinese teaching? There are many skills in teaching, and the application depends on the person. Which one is good and which one is less effective? It is important to be able to experience it. Even if the teaching is detailed, it is only a corner. It is important to be able to make the three reflexes extend.
The above four rhymes are a summary of teaching methods. To judge which teaching method is good, teachers need to personally test it. Teachers should keep in mind the idea of ??"teaching is to achieve the goal without teaching". When teaching, they should be oriented towards prompting students to "reflect on three things." "To "explain" this goal in a nutshell, we must inspire students' initiative and creativity, and guide them to reason and explore as much as possible.

This eight rhyme is a discussion on reading teaching, emphasizing that Chinese language teaching should pay attention to intensive reading, grasp the author's ideas, and read into his realm.

Expression of Gu orders. There is something to be said for this, and if you are well-intentioned in many ways, your achievements will be unparalleled. Gui, careful consideration rather than frequency.
These six rhymes are a discussion of composition teaching.
It contains two meanings. One is that teachers should consider students' writing needs and know how to write well in order to express their thoughts clearly; the other is to stimulate students' interest in composition and make students love to practice and realize that composition is not a chore and the most valuable thing. The intention must be sincere, and it must be carefully considered and revised repeatedly. By inspiring and guiding students in this way, their achievements will be limitless.
From Mr. Ye Shengtao’s discussion, we can see that the source of students’ composition writing materials is the rich and colorful world of life. If students want to make a living, they must cultivate their eyes like a camera, set their sights on life, wake up their ears, observe life over time, understand life, gain rich feelings, and then express their feelings and form words. Writing in this way is the natural expression of students, and the words written are also sincere language.
I often talk about paying tribute to my peers, and I am always considerate and attentive when I see him. I am willing to work hard and serve the new people in the future.
The last two rhymes are Mr. Ye Shengtao’s ardent expectations for Chinese teachers, encouraging us Chinese educators to continue to explore and practice innovation in order to cultivate the talents needed in the new era.
The preface and twenty rhymes of "Ye Shengtao Chinese Education" contain Mr. Ye's wise educational thoughts and his deep affection for Chinese education. His broad and profound educational theories are inspiring. Our wisdom and thinking are worthy of repeated study and reading by our Chinese teachers.
Let Mr.’s shining educational ideas correct and guide our daily Chinese education and teaching work!
