中学生的语文能力,主要是“听说读写”能力,这几乎是没有疑义的了。然而,在教学实际中,这四种能力的地位是很不均等的。“听说”能力虽然位置在前,却没有受到应有的重视,大多只抓阅读与写作。究其原因,原先的语文教学大纲和现行的考试制度应负主要责任。原大纲对语文能力只提阅读能力和写作能力,而各类考试则更是把听说能力的测试排除在外,加之,我们在语文教学中对“听说”能力、尤其是说话能 The language ability of middle school students is mainly “listening, speaking, reading and writing”. This is almost without doubt. However, in the teaching practice, the status of these four kinds of abilities is very unequal. Although the ability to “heard” was at the top, it did not receive the attention it deserved. Most of them only focused on reading and writing. The reason is that the original Chinese syllabus and the current examination system should bear the main responsibility. The original syllabus only mentions reading ability and writing ability for language ability, and all kinds of examinations exclude the test of listening and speaking ability. In addition, we have the ability to “hear and speak” in Chinese language teaching, especially the ability to speak.
