How do "experts" fight "epidemics" and "homebodies" learn Chinese well? Special-grade teachers from experimental primary school of Beijing Normal University come to give advice.
We are together to overcome the difficulties! Beijing’s education system has postponed the start of school, and children have already started their study and life at home. Many parents leave messages and want to ask for specific study guidance in various disciplines.
Next, in the column of "Double Special" War and "Epidemic", we specially invite the special Chinese teacher of Beijing Normal University Experimental Primary School, Mr. Chen Yanjun, to give us some advice, hoping to help parents and children!

Hello, classmates! At present, a pneumonia epidemic in novel coronavirus has seriously troubled our study and life. We can only "stay at home" and adopt a special lifestyle to spend every day. The special moment is a great test for students to concentrate and study quietly. From another perspective, it also brings us more and more flexible opportunities for innovative Chinese learning.
At present, learning is carried out at home, which is different from the orderly learning in schools. It needs to be generated by conscious constraints and has its own unique path. Learning to "stay at home" and consciously carry out active comprehensive learning at home will have a positive impact on the whole language learning and even promote mental growth.
Today, Mr. Chen shared his experience of studying and thinking quietly at home in recent days with his classmates, and sent you a "Chinese learning trilogy" to ensure that the students can learn and support under the premise of taking care of their health in a special period.
First, "do" — "Think" — "write"
Combined dynamic learning
The family is dozens of square meters small, but hundreds of square meters big, but it is "a small space and a big world". It can accommodate strange things, have a vast world, and show the infinite wisdom of the host at home. In a special period, in the space where we live, we can change every day, which requires hands and brains. In addition to desk lamps, cups and books, you can have more autotrophic green plants every day. Small changes will bring you positive learning emotions.
Lao She, a modern writer with the title of "People’s Artist", always breaks a few twigs of bamboo leaves from the yard and puts them in old bottles, and puts them on the writing desk as an adjustment of his meditation work, which is the enlightenment for our study. Come on, hurry up, pick a small piece of green branches from the dense green plants on the balcony and put them in a water bottle filled with dried fruits. Soak the lost Chinese cabbage roots in a small bowl and change some new water every day, and new changes will appear in your field of vision. We can also make a fake flower or a robot and put it in a corner, which will give you new pleasure.
Think about what form to leave a mark? We can take photos of them with our mobile phones, and then write them down in a proper way: how nice it is that the students in Grade One and Grade Two write a few words in connection with the good words accumulated in the Chinese text, and the students in Grade Three and Grade Four write diaries, so that their Chinese ability has been experienced! Older students in grades 5 and 6 are considerate children. Come, parents cook, you help to choose vegetables and wash dishes; Parents wash clothes, you clean the house; Parents clean the house, and you make the bed … … While working, look at the beautiful blue sky through the glass and write down the scenery, people, things and hearts artistically, which is a composition with true feelings. Even if you do the same thing every day, use different genres (narratives, poems, fairy tales, etc.) and use different layouts to conceive articles, the articles you write are different.
Second, "look" — "Listen" — "Hua"
Combined static learning
Knowledge can never be learned, and learning is a lifelong thing. Now there are many learning resources, which can be found everywhere. Open the computer, mobile phone, online and offline, there are many eye-catching learning contents, which are very important. But staying at home every day and just staring at these contents will be boring and impractical. But you can’t do it without learning or doing it. You have to learn to choose. Online learning resources are designed for most learning groups, and each student has different learning basis and hobbies. Students should browse and filter out the content suitable for their own learning, or broaden their horizons, or supplement their unknowns, or improve their learning level.
I suggest that you should watch more colorful TV programs during this period. As long as you calm down and choose a few programs to follow, you will get more gains.
For example, watching the Chinese Poetry Conference, we can review the ancient poems we have recited and know which ones are in our textbooks. I will also replace the players with myself and calculate how many points I can get. Let’s listen to the comments of Professor Wang Liqun, Professor Kang Zhen and Professor Meng Man to supplement the school’s lack of learning ancient poetry; Especially when you see the comprehensive skills of teacher Kang Zhen in evaluating, painting and writing, in which he constantly adds elements to a painting, and several poems are wonderfully combined, you can see the learning ideas and character of an excellent scholar.
In addition, various forms of propositions and competition rules can also accumulate experience for us in proposing ancient poems and organizing competitions in the future. Another example is "The Finals of the National People’s Congress Contest hosted by CCTV". You will learn the skills of subtle oral expression through the exquisite eloquence and clever thinking of each host. You can also understand the shortcomings of the players through the wonderful comments of Kang Hui and Dong Qing, and let us remember many persuasive words: "Everything is pursuing a balance" and "Injury and being hurt are sometimes the relationship of unity of opposites, hurting others, and sometimes it means destroying yourself." "If we lose our balance, I’m sorry, there is no winner after the shot." You will feel that the comment that "the road lies in simplicity, and you can do it in one word" has a direct impact on people’s hearts.
Also, through "local — The caption of the whole picture, for example, "In the picture, there is a hunter with a gun and a bear, and the hunter and the bear stand on one side and face each other on a balance beam." The wonderful question, with the image fully unfolded, takes you and the players into an unexpected situation that requires a sharp turn of thinking. At this time, your imagination is quietly developing. The performance of the players was remarkable, but a comment from the judges gave this question a deeper meaning.
Another example is the three-episode TV series "Ordinary World" of CCTV 1 at noon every day, which helps us to deepen our understanding of the original novel reading. In particular, it is necessary to remind students to pay attention to the reports of medical workers fighting in the front line of fighting the epidemic around the clock to save patients. In the face of crisis, especially the typical deeds of academicians Zhong Nanshan and Li Lanjuan leading the team to fight in the front line, this is the best China story and the best model for students to set up their ideals. It makes us think: what is the key time to stand up? What are we studying hard for now? We can write down our thoughts in the form of "reflections, letters and diaries" to achieve the goal of "telling the story of China well and inspiring ourselves to move forward".
Third, "Say" — "Read" — "chanting"
Combined immersion learning
I’m used to learning and playing with my friends at school, but I’m tired of being at home with my most familiar relatives every day. Many parents discipline us a lot, and many students may not like to talk much in front of adults. Studying at home is afraid of "dumb" "lonely" learning.
Students should take the initiative, make full use of the opportunity to be with their families, talk more and communicate with their relatives. We can ask questions about life and study, exchange our understanding and views on the way of the world, and share the joy of learning and doing at home all day. Family communication is based on bringing pleasure to each other, so we should pay attention to the appropriateness of language and the appropriateness of expression, speech speed, intonation and tone. It is an important Chinese ability to practice oral communication ability.
Then there is "reading more" at home, where reading is reading the whole book. In particular, you should learn to read your favorite books in a variety of ways, and this reading and the next reading should have different multiple gains. For example, when reading The Journey to the West, there is a difference between "probably reading" and "studying hard".
I advocate the effective method of "seven-step reading":
(1) Look through the contents and abstracts and read them carelessly.
(2) Read interesting and lively storylines, such as The Birth of the Monkey King and Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon.
(3) Read with the help of materials, such as why the golden hoop is "1350 Jin", why the Jade Emperor was robbed in 1750, and it took "129600 years" to overcome the robbery … … How did these figures come from? Searching for information on the internet will bring out a lot of knowledge, better appreciate the magic of myth and understand the author’s comprehensive skills.
(4) Read with questions: Why did Master the Monkey King, the founder of Bodhi, live in seclusion in the sacred mountain? Why did Tathagata clean up the Monkey King? Why does the Bodhisattva have so many skills? … … You will find that novels are the epitome of society and life.
(5) Reading in connection with practice (why are we sometimes like the four masters and apprentices: there are times of obedience, times of rebellion and times of gluttony … … )
(6) Excerpt-style literary appreciation. You see how wonderful many places are described. "Wanshou Mountain is blessed with land, and Wuzhuangguan has a view of the cave", "The silk is weak, the Liuping Bridge is late, and the snow is fragrant, and the yard is spring" … …
(7) Adjust and change your reading: After reading, you can conclude that you don’t learn from Tang Priest’s rigidity, the Monkey King’s stubbornness, Zhu Bajie’s carelessness and the lack of personality of the sand monk. It should also be reminded that a certain recitation ability is the basic skill to learn Chinese well. Good words and sentences, excellent ancient poems and exquisite fragments from textbooks and extracurricular reading are all worth reciting. Every morning, you can review what you have recited, make new discoveries and recite, and be informal, the more the better.
The combination of the above three is an effective way to learn Chinese at home and a trick to cultivate good habits of learning Chinese. Please give it a try, which may be helpful to your Chinese study. Teacher Chen wishes every student to learn more knowledge at home in a special period and consciously practice Chinese skills!
