Based on ...In recent years, China's education reform has been continuously promoted, especially the implementation of the new curriculum reform, which has made great progress in China's education modernization. Based on the requirements of the new curriculum reform, the concept of learning task group arises at the historic moment and is organically integrated with high school Chinese teaching, which plays a very important role in promoting the optimization of high school Chinese teaching contents and methods. In this paper, based on the "learning task group" of high school Chinese multi-text reading teaching to conduct an in-depth exploration, combined with the current development of high school Chinese multi-text reading teaching, put forward scientific and reasonable suggestions, in order to improve our country's high school Chinese education level, promote the modernization of our country's education to further develop, provide more reliable reference.展开更多

Further theoretical and practical exploration has been carried out on the teaching concept, teaching methods, teaching design and other aspects of group text reading, and many obvious achievements have been made. Based on the existing research on the teaching of group text reading in junior high school Chinese, this paper further explores the effective countermeasures for the teaching of group text reading in junior high school Chinese.展开更多

In order to activate senior high school students' Chinese thinking, improve their reading quality and Chinese core literacy, Chinese teachers attach importance to reading increment to change the traditional single reading mode, and guide senior high school students to systematically read relevant text content by reasonably selecting the teaching method of multi text reading, so as to broaden their vision and knowledge reserve and effectively implement the teaching objectives under the core literacy.展开更多

It can increase students' reading volume and improve students' reading ability by learning more than one text, which makes up for the deficiency of traditional reading teaching to a certain extent. However, this kind of teaching method was born in a short time. The research results are mainly concentrated in the compulsory education stage, and there is a large research space in the senior high school stage. Therefore, this study attempts to conduct an in-depth discussion on the multi-text reading teaching of high school Chinese, in order to provide practical suggestions for the multi-text reading teaching of high school Chinese and promote the development of multi text reading teaching.展开更多

At present, our country still has the problems of mismatch and imbalance of these resources, especially in the Chinese teaching of primary schools in rural areas, where there is a relative shortage of teaching resources, an increase in pupils horizon and a relative shortage of reading resources. In some rural areas, economic resources are relatively scarce, so in the context of double reduction, more learning space needs to be brought for students. Multi text reading teaching can improve the overall learning ability of primary school students, especially the reading ability of students in rural areas, and improve the teaching quality and teaching level.展开更多

Through reading, students can enrich their knowledge reserves, expand their horizons, and cultivate their thinking ability. More importantly, through reading, it is of great help to the development of students physical and mental health and the cultivation of correct values and outlook on life. Therefore, it is very important to carry out reading teaching efficiently in primary school Chinese reading teaching. In primary school Chinese teaching in China, the teaching standard of the new curriculum clearly stipulates that students should be helped to understand the meaning of works, feel the characters in articles, and taste the authors language writing style, so that students can resonate with the author from the heart. "Text intensive reading", as a term of Chinese criticism of western literary theory in the 20th century, means to analyze the characteristics of the text from the perspective of semantics, so as to have a deeper understanding of the article, which fits well with the purpose and significance of Chinese teaching in primary schools in China. In the teaching of Chinese reading in primary schools, careful reading of texts can not only improve the reading effect and make students have a deeper understanding of the article, but also cultivate students good reading habits through careful reading of texts, which is of great benefit to students future reading. How to carry out text reading in primary school Chinese reading teaching is described in detail below.展开更多

Therefore, under this background, a text reading teaching model which focuses on the use of Chinese elements has arisen, and its effective use in practical classes has also brought new challenges to Chinese teachers. By using the element of unit language as the teaching method of non-continuous text reading, on the one hand, the arrangement and change of the content teaching of Chinese textbooks after the new curriculum reform are comprehensively coordinated, and on the other hand, the reading learning characteristics of students at this stage are more humanely considered, so that this mode is more suitable for the content teaching in primary school Chinese reading class.展开更多
