“生命之树常绿,而理论总是灰色的。”歌德的这句名言或许可以部分地解释语文教学研究“法”多“论”少的现实。习作评改(习称作文批改)作为语文教改的活跃领域情形正是如此。自批、互批、轮批、抽批……来自实践的具体做法新招迭出,热闹非凡;属于理论的深层研究则寥若晨星,清清冷冷。招法自然多多益善,理论是否无足轻重?语文教学的长期实践表明,习作评改要想真正摆脱形式主义与事务主义,充分发挥其应有职能,方法的积极创新固不可少,观念的自觉革命尤为重要。符号批改法果真只有简便高效的优点吗?高分政策是否有悖于“客观公正”的评 “The tree of life is evergreen, and the theory is always grey.” This famous Goethe may partly explain the fact that Chinese teaching research “law” is less “theory”. This is precisely the situation in the field of language teaching reform. From the approval, mutual approval, round-robin, and batch-buying... The specific practices from practice are new and exciting. The deep research that belongs to the theory is not like the morning star, but it is cold and clear. In the long-term practice of language teaching, it has been shown that the long-term practice of language teaching shows that if the evaluation of work assignments is to really get rid of formalism and affairism and give full play to its proper functions, the positive innovation of methods is indispensable, and the concept of conscious revolution is particularly important. Is there a simple and efficient advantage of the symbolic correcting method? Does the high score policy contradict the “objective and fair” assessment?
