语文是基础课,是学生学好各门功课的基础。作文是语文的重要组成部分,作文能力又是语文水平的综合表现。所以,在世界各国日益重视教育的情况下,作文教学的研究也日益活跃起来。近来世界各地作文教学有一种新的趋势,这种趋势可分为以下几点来探讨。一、重视基本训练。美国在60年代,许多学校把传统的语法课和行之有效的课文讲授方法和作文训练方法都抛掉了,语文课为直接服务于科学技术的学科让路,在写作上学生得不到严格的训练。加上科学技术的现代化在生活上给学生带来的副作用(比如,有了电视,学生便懒于读书看报;有了现代电话,学生便懒于执笔写信等),这便形成了美国的所谓“弃笔风”,使学生的作文能力大大下降,引起舆论界的不安,人们称之为“写作危机”。美国克利夫兰国际写作学院院长艾伯特·约瑟夫曾说,他教出了上万名经理、科学家和政府雇员,“这些人实际上都是大学毕业生,一多半还 Language is the basic course, is the basis for students to learn all kinds of homework.
