Applying illustrations to reading teaching, writing teaching, and oral communication teaching is the charm of illustrations and our every A direction for educators, especially Chinese teachers, to strive in teaching. I brought it to you today, and you are welcome to watch it.
Characteristics of illustrations in junior middle school Chinese textbooks
1. Imagery
Chinese textbook illustrations, with their bright colors, realistic pictures and eye-catching formats, can Give students a vivid visual experience that boring words cannot achieve. Students will like to see illustrations, and then like to read texts and cause thinking interactions between pictures and texts. Therefore, for junior high school students whose perceptual thinking is still dominant, figurative illustrations can arouse their interest more. Moreover, the vivid illustrations help students understand the difficulties and details in the text content.
For example, the text in the first volume of the seventh-grade standard experimental textbook of the compulsory education curriculum "Looking at Clouds and Understanding the Weather" describes in detail that "Cirrus clouds, cirrocumulus clouds, cumulus clouds, and altocumulus clouds are all very beautiful." , but for students who have just entered junior high school, it is quite difficult to understand vividly. However, as long as they turn to the illustration on the previous page, students will easily understand it because the illustration is a photo clip with bright colors, clear and It is also vivid, exactly like the clouds in the sky. Such vivid illustrations are certainly conducive to students' learning. Another example is the black illustration in front of the text of "The Green Grasshopper", which vividly shows students how Fablin observes insects in detail.
2. Intuition
In the past, most of the illustrations in Chinese textbooks were black and white pictures, and some were hand-drawn black and white comics. However, now most of the illustrations in Chinese textbooks are ***, with real photos. It goes without saying that the intuitiveness and accuracy of photo display are both different from those of fine art painting. Paintings also strive to be consistent with the content described in the text, especially the illustrations of the newly launched compulsory education Chinese textbooks, which use advanced technical carriers to make the pictures More vivid and intuitive. The illustrations and text stay at the level of representation and are highly intuitive. The intuitive nature of illustrations allows students to acquire rich visual representations. Visual representation is not only beneficial to students' understanding of words, but also a very important type of memory encoding and storage. Help students understand quickly, remember quickly, and remember well. Students can learn the content described in the text very quickly through the pictures, and are deeply impressed.
The role of illustrations in junior high school Chinese textbooks in teaching
As an integral part of junior high school Chinese textbooks, illustrations are not optional because of their intuitiveness, image, and diversity. There is no embellishment, and its role in teaching is mainly reflected in the following aspects.
1. Motivation to stimulate interest in teaching and learning
Whether it is the illustrations presented on the page before the text or the illustrations presented on the same page as the text and pictures, they are all highly intuitive and The imageability will subconsciously enhance teachers’ desire and confidence in teaching. The illustrations in the textbook are very exquisite: gentle water towns, endless fields, bright purple wisteria and lotus flowers, which bring beauty enjoyment to Chinese teachers and inspire teachers' interest in using the textbook well and teaching students well.
For students, they are more willing to seek knowledge in vivid illustrations. For junior high school students aged 14 or 5, image thinking still plays a large role in their thinking. After all, words are symbols and abstract. They will be tired of studying when faced with black words all the time, and they will be very tired of studying. It is difficult to find knowledge in language. The vivid images and brightly colored illustrations in the textbook are pleasing to the eye, and they can directly feel the beautiful artistic conception contained in the text. In this way, we can carefully explore the language beauty and artistic beauty of the article, and improve the efficiency of learning. For example, when studying the article "Three Gorges", students are not originally interested in ancient Chinese literature, and this text is difficult to understand, so students will find it boring and difficult to learn. But if students are first asked to compare the colorful illustrations of Xiling Gorge in front of the text, the brightly colored and lifelike photos will immediately increase their interest in learning the text.
2. Pay attention to the text content and promote students’ understanding and mastery of knowledge
The illustrations in junior high school Chinese textbooks reproduce the text content visually and vividly, abstracting the text. The concept, logical thinking mode and artistic conception are presented as a visual expression, which is conducive to mobilizing people's multiple senses to participate in the process of understanding the text, thus making it easier to understand the text content. The article "Children's Interest" writes about the scene when summer mosquitoes were imagined as a group of cranes in childhood. It is difficult for students to imagine what it looks like. It is naturally difficult to understand the words in the article, but the illustrations in the article reproduce this scene. In the picture, a group of cranes are flying, graceful and full of aura, which vividly reproduces the content of the text, making it easier for students to understand the text.
In the poem "Tian Jing Sha? Autumn Thoughts", "the ancient road is filled with thin horses in the west wind". This artistic conception is vividly displayed in the illustrations in the article. In the picture, the poet is riding a thin horse, walking with a desolate expression on a deserted road. On the ancient road, a few crows flew around the old dry trees, creating a desolate scene. Students will easily understand the artistic conception of this poem by comparing it with the illustrations.
The combination of these illustrations and text allows students to gain an intuitive and vivid direct experience in "seeing a hundred things is better than hearing it a hundred times". At the same time, it stimulates students' imagination and fantasy, and mobilizes students' reading expectations, so that they can enter the reading process better and more accurately. Grasp the text information effectively, deepen the understanding of the content, and gain aesthetic inspiration in the process.
The significance of illustrations in junior high school Chinese textbooks in teaching
1. Make up for the deficiencies in teaching conditions
Due to the limitations of economic, geographical and other conditions, in the process of Chinese teaching In teaching, it is impossible for teachers to show all the things and situations involved in teaching to students one by one. This requires illustrations to complete the task, especially when learning some texts involving concrete objects. For example, when studying "Squirrel", the teacher cannot bring the squirrel to the students so that the students can understand its specific appearance. At this time, the illustrations in the text play a major supporting role and make up for the lack of teaching conditions. The illustrations of squirrels in the article intuitively and vividly show students the characteristics of squirrels. In this way, even if there is no real squirrel in front of them, students can simply understand the appearance characteristics of squirrels by observing the illustrations, so that they can naturally learn the text with ease.
2. It is conducive to the emotional cultivation and education of students
The illustrations in the textbook are vivid, like real things and situations displayed in front of students, and have a very direct appeal. Many illustrations such as the "God Seven" flying sky, the Sino-British Hong Kong handover ceremony, and the "God Five" made students feel the greatness of the motherland, feel proud of the motherland, and feel patriotism. Guilin landscape, Suzhou gardens, Three Gorges, Yellow Crane Tower and other magnificent rivers and mountains of the motherland make students full of lofty ideals and feel the beauty of the motherland; early black and white photos of great people and outstanding writers such as Zhou Enlai, Lu Xun, Ba Jin and Bing Xin make students admire them. Emotions; "Under the Cibeigu Mountain", "Tian Jing Sha? Autumn Thoughts", "Climbing the Yueyang Tower", the matching poetic artistic conception pictures seem to bring us back to those real scenes thousands of years ago, making people have endless reveries. The ancient monuments, calligraphy and cultural relics make people realize the remoteness and profoundness of the motherland's culture.
