5. Thoughts on classical grammar in teaching
Based on the positioning of classical grammar in the CET-8 examination for Japanese majors, the author believes that two aspects should be paid attention to in the teaching of classical grammar. question. First, we should aim at reading comprehension, use classical language knowledge as the teaching content, and focus on the teaching of basic grammar. In modern Japanese teaching, the main teaching goals are for students to master the skills of listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation. In classical grammar teaching, reading comprehension should be the main goal, and students are not required to master the abilities of listening, speaking, and writing. In addition, translation should be regarded as a test of understanding, not as the main goal. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, we should focus on the teaching of basic grammatical expressions and meanings, including focusing on the understanding of characters and vocabulary. Second, aim at classical appreciation. In the teaching of classical grammar, we should focus on teaching Japanese classic literature and improve students' ability to read classical literature. This ability is a necessary language literacy for undergraduates majoring in Japanese. In addition, allowing students to read more classic Japanese literature can improve students' literary appreciation ability, enhance their aesthetic level, broaden their horizons, cultivate their sentiments, and cultivate good qualities and temperament.
