Let’s start with correcting reading orientation
? Professor Wang Rongsheng pointed out in the book "Keys to Reading Teaching Design": At present, there are big problems in Chinese classroom teaching, mainly teaching Content issues and teaching content issues are often rooted in teachers’ text interpretation. When teaching reading, teachers’ text interpretation ability is the key. He believes that many Chinese teachers consciously or unconsciously adopt inappropriate interpretation methods, leading to deviations or errors in interpretation.
? So, what is a suitable text interpretation, and what characteristics should it have?
First, the reading orientation is normal, that is, reading a work like a normal person (a person with high reading ability).
? Second, the reading method must meet the requirements of this article style itself. What should I read in this style of article? Where to read? It must be legal and well-founded.
? It can be judged from the above two characteristics that proper text interpretation must first have a proper reading orientation. What is reading orientation?
Reading orientation is the conversion of reading purpose and task, but it is not the same as purpose and task. It can become a reading attitude, reading habit and relatively independent, or even a concept of reading.
? Reading orientation is divided into normal, abnormal and abnormal. Normality is the usual reading orientation of readers under normal circumstances, or the reading orientation consistently adopted by readers with high reading ability. Abnormality is a reading orientation that is inconsistent with the usual based on reasonable purposes and tasks.
? Abnormality is a distorted reading orientation. A peculiar reading orientation based on a certain wrong concept, intentionally or habitually misinterpreting the text. For example, "reading for the sake of reading", "learning to read to learn to read", or even "learning to read for the Chinese exam" (to answer reading test questions) often leads to abnormal reading orientation.
? Mr. Wang Rongsheng pointed out: Abnormal reading orientation is the biggest trap in learning to read.
? Reflecting on my more than ten years of Chinese teaching, from the perspective of reading orientation, it should be said that most of the time, my reading orientation has traces of abnormal reading orientation, especially in the process of text interpretation. , it is difficult to read and understand oneself as a normal reader. And often they regard themselves as a Chinese teacher, as a Chinese teacher facing exams and further studies, reading, which has great utilitarianism and purpose. Indeed, sometimes it is to allow students to improve in various exams. skills and abilities to learn to read.
Professor Wang told us that if you regard yourself as a Chinese teacher from the beginning, it is easy to fall into the special reading orientation of "Chinese teachers preparing lessons", which is the collective reading that Chinese teachers have formed in the past. Orientation, to put it clearly, is to fall into a slightly abnormal reading orientation.
? Therefore, in order to improve teachers' text interpretation ability and carry out appropriate text interpretation, they must first correct their own "micro-abnormal" reading orientation. How to go from "abnormal" to "normal" requires a process of constant change. Because of the long-term fixed thinking, it is difficult for us to break out of the reader identity of "Chinese teacher" for a while, but I think as long as we have this awareness of establishing a normal reading orientation, when we pick up the Chinese textbook again, our mentality will change. It will be much easier. This "naked reading" method allows us to naturally integrate into reading and read naturally according to the style of the text, instead of entering the text with the utilitarian thinking of the exam or the invisible influence of teaching reference. .
? Of course, at this time, we will more clearly sort out which parts of our reading process are easy to understand, which parts are still unclear, and which parts even the teacher cannot understand. Perhaps it must be the most important part of the text, that is, the place where we need to continue to study in depth, and these places are precisely the key and difficult points of our teaching, that is, the characteristics of a specific text, that is, the connection point between students and the text. For teachers, it is teaching content.
? Naturally, the normal reading orientation must be reading that takes into account the text style, that is, reading novels as novels, reading prose as prose, and reading poetry as poetry. It is a kind of reading that requires learning to acquire. ability. This kind of learning is long-term, lasting and moving forward.
In the book, Professor Wang Rongsheng does not deny teachers’ text interpretation ability, but points out that more often than not, many Chinese teachers consciously or unconsciously adopt inappropriate interpretation methods, resulting in poor interpretation. deviations or errors. The reason for this deviation is inseparable from the "micro-abnormal" reading orientation.
Therefore, the author believes that in order to carry out appropriate text interpretation, we should first reflect on or correct our reading orientation! ?
