IBMYP Chinese language A literature teaching process

Abstract

在國際文憑課程教學領域內，有關漢語A文學教學的研究剛剛起步。本研究探討中學項目九年級學生在文學教學過程中，初學文學評論的表現以及相關策略的運用。本研究以一所國際文憑組織成員學校中學項目九年級的學生為對象，通過問卷調查和小說單元的欣賞教學實驗及研究分析，發現： 1. 學生普遍具有閱讀文學作品的興趣，具備評價文學作品的意識。2. 文學教學促使一些學生突破以往閱讀思維的局限，視野更為開闊，更多關注作品所傳遞的更為豐富的文化信息以及作者駕馭作品的方式與技巧。3. 中文水準較弱和普通的一些學生，在文學評論的組織與表達方面尚有明顯不足。中文水準優秀的學生已經熟練掌握文學評論的寫作方法和技巧，能自如地聯係課外閱讀經驗，對不同作家作品進行比較、分析。據此結果，現時中學項目的漢語文學教學應該拓展閱讀面，增加知識積累，加強文學評論的寫作指引和訓練，為大學預科項目的文學學習做好銜接準備。

Little scholarship has been done regarding the teaching of “Language A Chinese" from the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). The present study focuses on the topic of Chinese Language A teaching to Grade 9 students, in particular, who are in the fourth year of MYP Language A. The study looks at student progress as they undertake this course as well as appropriate teaching strategies to maximize success. Drawing on Grade 9 students survey data from an IBO World School as well as the reseacher’s practical classroom experience, the major findings of this study are as follows: 1. Students are interested in reading literary works and enjoy evaluating literature. 2. The teaching of literature has prompted some students to pay more attention to cultural aspects of readings and has opened their mind to new ideas. 3. Lower- achieving Chinese Language students continue to have difficulties understanding the organization and expression of the literature commentary. In contrast, higher- achieving students have shown the ability to not only comprehend deeper organization and meaning in the literature, but they are also able to identify writing methods, and compare and analyze the work of different writers.

Given the study findings, it is recommended that more MYP Chinese literature teaching should be focused on reading and writing in order to increase student knowledge and awareness, but also to strengthen their ability to succeed in the next stages of their schooling.
