“现代汉语”是高等师范学校中文系的专业必修课和基础课,其中语音章从所占教学时数的比例和提高学生普通话水平两方面来看都很重要。不过传统的语音教学仍存在一些问题,教学中重理论轻实践、重知识轻能力的矛盾愈显突出。基于此,我们认为应从三个层面提高语音教学的质量:一是将抽象的语音理论知识形象化;二是以语音训练为主线;三是加强与古汉语、方言的比较。采用以上方法,会使得语音教学的质量不断提高,学生的普通话水平也会逐渐提高。 Modern Chinese is a compulsory course and a basic course for the Chinese Department of Higher Normal School, in which the pronunciation of chapters is very important both in terms of the proportion of teaching hours and in raising the standard of students’ mandarin. However, there are still some problems in traditional phonetic teaching. The contradiction between the emphasis on practice and the ability to emphasize knowledge and ability becomes more and more conspicuous in teaching. Based on this, we think that the quality of phonetic teaching should be improved from three aspects: one is to visualize abstract phonetic theory knowledge; the other is to use voice training as the main line; the other is to strengthen the comparison with ancient Chinese and dialects. With the above method, the quality of phonetic teaching will be continuously improved and the standard of students’ Putonghua will gradually increase.
