一简单谈談语文教学的情况「五四」以前,中学校裏國文科的教材是所謂古文。教國文的方法很簡單,無非講一講,讀一讀,出個题目讓学生做一篇文章,說一些古人已經說过很多回的話。所謂「講」,只是解释字義,把古文語句翻譯成现代語,就是这麽翻譯翻译,也儘够消磨一節又一節的授課時間了。那時候,無論教師和学生,要是他們心目中有什麽目的和任務的話,也不过是模仿古人,希望能像古人那樣考虑問題,能像古人那樣說說寫寫罷了。「五四」以後,教材裏才有「白話文」。小学全教白話文,中学裏白話文和文言文同時教。现在不說小学,光說中学。中学教文言文,教材和教法基本上跟先前一樣。至於白話文,其中有些是文学作品,有些不是。就思想内容說,很雜,有好些文章,思想不正確,甚至是反動的,但是也有些文章是有进步的民主主義思想的。对这些白話文,一般教师認爲文章本身没有什麽講头,有的唸一遍了事,有的唸也不唸,叫学生自己去看看 A Brief Talk on the Situation of Language Teaching Before the May Fourth Movement, the teaching materials of the National Arts Section in the middle schools were the so-called ancient texts. The method of teaching the Chinese language is very simple. It is nothing more than speaking about it. When you read it, you should ask a student to make an article and say that some ancient people have already said many things. The so-called “speaking” is only an interpretation of the meaning of the word. The translation of ancient Chinese sentences into modern languages ​​means that translators and translators can use as much time as they can. At that time, regardless of the goals and tasks they had in mind, teachers and students were merely imitating the ancients. They hoped that they could consider issues like the ancients, and could write and write like the ancients did. After the May Fourth Movement, there was only “Vernacular” in the textbooks. Primary school teaches vernacular Chinese, and middle school teaches both vernacular and classical Chinese. We do not speak elementary school now, but we speak of middle school. The teaching of classical Chinese, teaching materials and teaching methods is basically the same as before. As for the vernacular Chinese, some of them are literary works, and some are not. As far as ideological content is concerned, it is very complicated, there are many articles, ideas are not correct, and even reactionary, but there are also articles that have progressive democratic ideas. For these vernacular texts, teachers generally believe that the article itself does not have a head start. Some read it over and some read it, asking the students to see for themselves.
