On The New Curriculum Reading Literary Classics And Its Teaching

Literature teaching is an important part of philology teaching. This is determinedby the humanistic nature of philology. However, a historical review of philologyteaching in middle school showed that literature teaching used to be regarded as eitherpositive or negative and more often than not it ended up losing ground. Since the end oflast century, discussions on philology teaching brought the once neglected literatureteaching back to life in middle school’s philology courses. In the new millennium, asnew curriculum reform took place, literature teaching has gained unprecedentedattention. Reading and teaching of classic literature constitute the core of literatureteaching. Textbooks under new curriculum cover a significantly higher proportion ofclassic literature. Based on the history and current situation of literature teaching inmiddle school, this paper holds that in the context of new curriculum, teachers shouldview reading of classic literature from the perspective of both literature and course. Inteaching, an autonomous reading model should be built where there are interactionsbetween students and teachers, students and textbooks and teachers and textbooks. Inselecting instructional strategy,“generative strategies” should be prioritized while“supplantive strategies” comes second. Thus, the goal of literature teaching will finallybe achieved.
