语文课程是学习母语的课程。何谓“母语”?“母语”是“一个人最初学会的一种语言,在一般情况下是本民族的标准语或某一方言”(《现代汉语词典》)。问题是,作为正常生活中的正常儿童总是在学前便自然地习得了的母语,为何还要专门设立课程令其继续学习呢?有 The language course is a course for learning a native language. What is “mother tongue”?“Language” is “a language that one person initially learned, and in the general case is his or her own dialect” (“Modern Chinese Dictionary”). The problem is that as a normal child in normal life, a native language that is naturally learned before school, why do we need to set up a special course to continue learning?
