《语文课程标准》指出:“学生应具有日常口语交际的基本能力,在各种交际活动中,学会倾听、表达与交流,初步学会文明地进行人际沟通和社会交往,发展合作精神。”口语交际是语文能力的重要组成部分,然而原本贴近生活、轻松活泼的口语交际课却在不经意之间变成了气氛凝重、令人紧张的“说话课”。孩子们普遍对口语交际不感兴趣,缺乏交际欲望,着实令人费解。那么,作为一线教师的我们,又该如何做出一些努力,改变这一现状呢?笔者认为,陶行知先生的“生活教育”理论可以给我们一些启示。 “Chinese Curriculum Standard” states: “Students should have the basic ability of daily oral communication, learn to listen, express and communicate in various communicative activities, and initially learn to communicate civilizedly and interpersonally and develop cooperation spiritually.” Oral communication is an important part of Chinese ability. However, the relaxed and lively oral communication class, which was originally close to life, has inadvertently changed into a dignified and stressful “talk class.” Children are generally not interested in oral communication, lack of desire for communication, really puzzling. Then, as a front-line teacher, how can we make some efforts to change this situation? The author believes that Mr. Tao Xingzhi’s “life education” theory can give us some inspiration.
