Calling Structure And Literature Text Teaching

Directing against the closed, static and unilateral mode of teaching in the traditionalreading teaching, enlightened by the new idea of literature text in the" ordinary Chinesecourse standard of high school (experiment ) ", this dissertation applies the method thatcombines the latest western theory and concrete practice of literature text teaching, tries toput forward a brand-new subject--calling structure and literature text teaching, through thestudy, cultivation and application of calling structure of receiving aesthetics in the field ofliterature text teaching. It aims to advocate the following teaching ideas: literature textteaching should be multi-life dialogue in which teachers, students and educational media(text) are all present and all have the speaking rights;it should be a poly mutual-course inwhich three of them interchange, clash, communicate and form, not a unilateral and staticmonologue of the teacher;through different means of activities like reading, appreciationand writing, it makes the students fully experience the beauty and rich feelings containedin the text, be attracted by and intoxicated with truth, kindness and beauty expressed in thetext, and creates a strong emotional resonance, playing the role of purifying the soul,molding the sentiments, nourishing the intelligence, and raising the personality.Taking calling structure which is the fundamental characteristic of literature text as itsargument fulcrum, going deep gradually, this dissertation attempts to explore thetheoretical and practical questions of literature text teaching from four aspects:The first part concerns the interpretation of literature text teaching. After telling theconnotation of literature text, the dissertation tells the value orientation. Here, according tothe spirit of the "course standard", the dissertation points out that literature text teaching isthe activity concerning reading and appreciation of novel, drama, poem and prose, withvalue orientation being that literature text tells people to live with poetic flavor andconstructing mental edifice in aesthetic experience of literature text. Affection of literaturetext creates the mode of thinking which has its own character and represents the ultimatecare for the human being.The second part involves calling structure and literature text teaching. Concretely, thedissertation explains the connotation of calling structure and characteristics of literaturetext under the calling structure. It points out that calling structure is a very importantconcept of receiving aesthetics, that it was put forward and discussed from many aspectsby Wolfgang Iser, a German theorist of aesthetics, in his famous paper "calling structure ofliterature text". To Iser,there exists meaning blank and uncertainty in literature text;thereis vacancy between its different semantic units;when the text denies the readers'customary field of view, it can give rise to readers' psychological vacancy . All theseblank, vacancy and denying factors form negative structure of literature text, and becomea basic impetus of stimulating and inducing the readers for creative supplement andimaginary connection. Uncertainty and vacancy form the basic structure of literature text,which is what literature text calls calling structure. Then, the dissertation points out thatthe characteristics of calling structure are wide-opening, tension structural, andconstructive.The third part mainly deals with teaching strategy of literature text. From callingstructure, its fundamental characteristic, the author suggests the application of literatureteacher strategy, reciting strategy, constructing class with poetic flavor strategy andexperiencing strategy which can be divided into experiencing activity teaching,experiencing aesthetics teaching, experiencing comprehension teaching, experiencingimagination and imaginary teaching.The fourth part contains the questions that should be paid attention to, namely, thestipulation of literature text itself and non-generalization of calling structure in literaturetext teaching.It should be a long-cherished realm of literature text teaching that the students, from thefundamental characteristic of literature text, can read, do well in reading and savor thepleasure of reading. Wang Guowei once said," the birth of hundreds of politicians is not asgood as that of a writer". Bajin, an old man, also says, "we have a rich literary treasury, itis the masterpiece left by writers of generations. They educate and encourage us, makingus become better, purer, kinder and more useful to others. Literature only aims to make usbecome better." As the essential part and core—value outlook, aesthetic outlook, moraloutlook and outlook on life, which affects a person's quality, the unconsciously influencedmental activity of literature text reading can change the students' lives, or at least tellthem how to live, which is a lofty mental practice for the students and can give a mentalbase to the children. Therefore, I think the study of this subject has a great realisticsignificance.
