7.
语文能力的提高更多的来自于课外阅读(Extensive Reading),而鼓励课外阅读的最佳方式是让阅读带来乐趣,从而提高我们的中文教学水平。我们即要从现在做起,又要从长计议,围绕我们的教学大纲,配 合我们的课堂教学,尽我们最大的能力和资源,把这项工作做好。书籍,文章可谓浩如烟海,为我们的学生选哪些读物,也一定是仁者见仁,智者见智。 我们的原则是: 遵循语言习得的规律, 期望通过有限的阅读,达到举一反三的效果。提高学生们的读写听说译的 实际综合能力。因此,非学生教师家长三方配合不可。选题范围和细则在admin desk. Please offer your opinions and advise. Please指点,推荐,批评,指正。Thank you for those who have offered yours. We need more to involve.

Thanks again,

Zhang Tao
