Advice from a Chinese teacher: New semester, new textbooks, plan this way without anxiety

It’s a new semester again. One of the biggest features of this semester is that some grades have begun to use new textbooks. I see in the parent group that some parents are anxious again. In my opinion, the important reason for anxiety is: thinking too much and doing too little. The important reason for doing too little is: not knowing what to do. In response to this problem, I will give you some step-by-step suggestions from the perspectives of teachers and parents. Today I mainly ask the teacher to give some suggestions and directions for Chinese learning in the new semester, so that everyone can make plans for their children\’s study and life. We still \”begin with the end in mind\”, starting from the Chinese papers at the end of last semester, analyzing the general direction and trends of Chinese learning, and then implementing plans for daily habit development and ability improvement. When it comes to habit formation, creating a learning space is also a concern of many readers. Yesterday I mentioned the large electric table, and many people immediately came to ask for details. Let me talk about the wood first. It is beech wood imported from Europe (I haven’t seen anyone dare to use wood like this). If you don’t believe me, go and research it first😎The specific tour start time is: 8 a.m. on the 19th. If you are interested, you can set up Alarm clock⏰Okay, let’s listen to some useful information! 1 A brief review of the final papers of last semester: It is not difficult to find several trends in Chinese language learning now. The first one is to emphasize the understanding and application of knowledge methods. There are obviously fewer examinations of words in the test paper (there used to be 12 words tested in the fourth grade, now there are 8), and the dictation test also tests the use rather than the correctness of dictation (this time the test does not look at whether the words are written correctly, but only the quality of the poems). choice is correct). It is more about examining children\’s ability to use knowledge and methods to solve problems in specific situations. The reading questions also break the rules and create a real museum situation. This is the transformation we mentioned before, “from doing problems to doing things, from solving problems to solving problems”. The second one is that the requirements for study habits have become higher. The stems of the questions in the test papers are generally relatively long, and there are many confusing keywords in them. Once you don\’t see them clearly, you will easily go off track when answering the questions. For example, question 11 in the reading asked which \”exhibition hall\” to go to. Many children answered \”China Science and Technology Museum\”. This is because they did not see the key words clearly. Therefore, \”question review habits\” are very important. If you develop the good habit of \”circling and drawing keywords during review questions\”, you will be able to handle relatively complex questions with ease. The third point is that it is more consistent with the \”teaching materials\”. On the surface, it seems that the basic knowledge tested in the test paper has decreased. Does this mean that the teaching materials are no longer important? Is the question maker just imaginative in setting the question? On the contrary, the reading topics in the paper (technological topics) and the skills tested by the flexible \”reading application questions\” are completely consistent with the textbook. For example, in this set of papers for the fourth grade, the science and technology theme read is the humanities theme in the second unit of the textbook. Reading question 20 tests the reading ability that is the focus of the textbook unit study. Therefore, we should pay more attention to teaching materials and see the ability requirements behind the teaching materials. The humanities theme of the second unit of the second volume of the fourth grade is science and technology and nature. The 20 questions examine the reading method of \”feeling the character\’s quality from the character\’s language and actions\” in the textbook. This reading method is based on these three trends. This semester\’s Chinese learning has thisHere are a few key points: Chinese textbooks guide good habits and lay the foundation for comprehensive abilities to \”add to the beauty\”. 2 Chinese textbooks play the role of outline and lead, and can lead the direction for children\’s in-class learning and extracurricular development. When school first starts: We can take our children to simply read the Chinese language books. Starting from the table of contents, sort out the humanistic themes and Chinese elements (the focus of reading and writing) of each unit in the book, understand what articles are included under each theme, and clarify the learning focus and direction of expansion. For example, if you open the Chinese language book in the first volume of the third grade and look at the table of contents first, you can see that there are eight units to be studied this semester. The fifth unit is a practice unit (the one with two practice examples is a practice unit). The entire unit is It revolves around writing, so pay attention when studying. Let’s look at the unit introduction page. For example, Unit 2 has the theme of “Golden Autumn Season”. It contains several texts and ancient poems that show the beauty of autumn from different angles. The illustrations also have a far-reaching and beautiful artistic conception. When studying this unit, it is essential to take your children for an \”autumn outing\”. The Chinese element is \”using different methods to understand words\”, which is the focus of Mikami\’s reading study. When studying, you should pay attention to summary and strengthen practice. During the semester: You can make an \”expansion plan\” based on the humanities theme before studying each unit. For example, when studying the second unit, you can follow the text and go to the trails and mountains near your home to enjoy the autumn scenery. When studying the eighth unit, you can read more biographies and understand the characters\’ qualities outside class. After each unit, you can also summarize the reading methods learned based on Chinese elements, and then consciously use them flexibly when reading extracurricular books. At the end of the semester: you can \”take the exam\” based on the textbooks. In terms of reading, we can find corresponding types of questions for children based on the reading methods learned in the book, and do targeted and efficient exercises and improvements (for example, on the third day, you can do more word-solving questions, because the second unit focuses on learning this method). You can also write more reading articles that are consistent with the theme of the teaching material unit (Mikami can write more articles describing the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland, which is consistent with the theme of the sixth unit). 3. Good habits are particularly important when learning Chinese. Six years of primary school is also the best time to develop habits. After teaching Chinese for more than ten years, I feel that these six habits are particularly important for primary school students: the habit of reading and annotating, the habit of recording, the habit of previewing, the habit of reviewing, the habit of diligent note-taking, the habit of writing carefully, the habit of reviewing questions, and the habit of drawing circles. The first two are targeted at It is the accumulation of reading and writing outside of class. The next four items are aimed at in-class learning and practice. Chinese language learning pays attention to \”wide input and detailed output\”. When accumulating, it should cover a wider area. The so-called \”Chinese is everywhere at all times\”. When it is implemented on the pen, it must be rigorous and meticulous enough, and the words must be written stroke by stroke. , the question stem should be read sentence by sentence. Therefore, these six habits are indispensable. No matter how the test format changes, these habits will remain a top priority. There are many ways to cultivate habits. I recommend the five steps of habit cultivation by education expert Sun Yunxiao: arouse interest – establish order – continuous training – timely rewards and punishments – create an environment ~ Following this step, it will be easier to cultivate habits. 4 Comprehensive ability is the new requirement put forward by the current general trend for children, and it is also what our parents need most.A place to work hard. What exactly is \”comprehensive ability\”? We can apply the interpretation of \”core competencies\” in the Chinese curriculum standards newly released in 2022, that is, cultural confidence, language use, thinking ability, and aesthetic creation. How to improve comprehensive ability specifically? It sounds difficult, but it is actually simple. It means \”many books and thousands of miles of travel\”. To be more specific, I would like to give you a few suggestions: 1. Go to museums more often. Museums now attach great importance to the development of cultural relics and the inheritance and protection of culture, and have also developed many resources suitable for teenagers. For example, the [Forbidden City Museum Youth Website] launched by the Palace Museum, as well as a series of activities launched by major museums, are very suitable for children to participate. If possible, you can take your children to volunteer in museums, which will be of great benefit to them. 2. Open up your reading horizons. Everyone knows the benefits of reading more, but it is not enough to read more. You must also read widely. If the child\’s reading interests are too narrow, we have to find ways to expand the reading area based on the children\’s interests. I have repeatedly cited this example in previous articles. This is what parents do: Only when the reading surface is opened can the vision be broadened and the comprehensive ability improved. 3. Keeping children \”down to earth\” means allowing them to enter more real social life and increase their life experience. You can take your children with you when shopping for groceries and cooking. Your children can be responsible for entertaining people at home. You can also let your children take the lead in planning when traveling. In short, you should pull your children away from the classroom and desk and be more grounded in life. , Only in this way can we have the courage and ability to solve problems. 4. Watch more news and chat more. International and national events are news, and many things in school and family are also news. Chat more with your children, guide them to express their opinions, and help your children see problems dialectically. Older children should be rational when talking about their ideas, and they should also be encouraged to express their own unique views and opinions, which correspond to logical thinking, dialectical thinking and creative thinking. Okay, that’s all I want to talk to you about Chinese language learning in the new semester. I hope the children can learn Chinese well and fall in love with Chinese in the new semester. Come on!
