As the leader of the language discipline in Kunming Key Middle School Kunshi Middle School, Xu Yang has passed on the leading teaching experience of language disciplines to successive students in his more than ten years of professional career, leading students to participate in speech competitions held by provinces and cities for many times, and participating in discipline sharing and exchange meetings jointly held by prefectures and cities several times. She is down-to-earth in the field of Chinese teaching in Kunming, seeking breakthroughs and becoming an excellent teacher representative of the school, a good teacher in the eyes of parents, and an object of worship in the hearts of students. Let's hear her teaching story together.

Guide children to understand and pass on local culture through the language

Xu Yang carried the breath of a literary background. Between the words, she quoted "Water Margin" and "Drifting", Su Shi, Lin Yutang and other classic literary works and everyone, talking about the moving literary meanings and the feelings given to her in different periods.

Language education is the process of literary reengineering. Xu Yang dedicated his nearly 13 years of Chinese teaching career to kunshi middle school, a key middle school, guiding the four students to different directions in life. According to Xu Yang, what first led her into the education industry was not a grand and ethereal sense of mission. This decision included the timing of the teacher's examination, the family background of the educational family, the composition of the profession, and the power of continuous dedication and continuous attention brought to her by the words.

In terms of language teaching, Xu Yang will lead students to participate in the school's practical activities - to explore the context of Kunming, to visit the tangible cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage of Kunming. Yunnan Army Lecture Hall, Dongsi Street, Lin Huiyin's Former Residence, The Former Site of southwest United University... In the process of explaining the local history and culture to the students, leading them to learn and observe, they will also lead the students to visit the field and discover the cultural heritage around them.

In addition, Xu Yang also devoted himself to guiding students to participate in speech and recitation competitions with the theme of Kunming culture, and introduced ancient literary works depicting the scenery of Kunming to students, such as Sun Qiweng's "Daguanlou Changlian". "I hope to make students proud that we live in such a city, so that they can understand, approach and pass on the local culture through language learning, and be able to use language to accurately express cultural understanding." ”

"Teaching, I like to be friends with my students and be a guiding rather than imperative teacher." Xu Yang said. She encourages active, mischievous students to find fun and purpose in sports and Water Margin. "I firmly believe that every child has his own unique charm, and it is not only based on grades to judge students' abilities."

When a physically handicapped classmate was ashamed to get along with others, Xu Yang encouraged him to start from a very small matter and actively participate in class activities. Between the gradual in-depth conversation and the inspiration of interest, this classmate moved to a new stage in life, becoming a pedagogy student at the University of Sydney, and working with her for the education of KunShi Secondary School a few years later.

Cross the solidified thinking of "the child is a blank piece of paper"

What is education for? "If competition must exist, how can students face it with a more positive mindset and habits outside of competition?" Xu Yang has not yet found a perfect solution, but she still does not give up the possibility of diversity. From the source, knowledge has no purpose. In Xu Yang's conception, education means cultivating students' lifelong interest in something. She wanted them to be filled with hearts and to find fun forever.

"I hope that children will be a person of character, open-mindedness and pursuit, who will have a learning ability and a way of learning." For example, how to broaden the boundaries of cognition beyond grades; how not to be afraid to cope with life's out-of-control moments; how to loosen the reins of education a little. She hopes to empower students to have more sensitivity in different disciplines, at least literature, sports or other fields.

Therefore, in addition to mastering the scope of the exam and the essence of teaching, Xu Yang will also break away from the syllabus and answer the text with the students. For different students' personalities, either cheerful, or calm, to provide them with different teaching methods. Instruct students on how to think about the meaning between the lines of a literary work and a poem, and convey the textual value behind it.

Xu Yang believes that some of the students' innate thinking is to cross the solidified thinking of "the child is a blank piece of paper", and she respects the child's feelings and choices. In the current educational environment, how to learn and grow together with students, how to return to the source of education, and help them find a rich spiritual world is the possibility that education should have.
