Design Of Elementary Chinese Reading Teaching Based On The Schema Theory

Reading is of great importance in Chinese learning. Learners can not only master new words and increase the vocabularies via reading, but also acquire new knowledge,thus having better understanding about China and the Chinese language. In the Chinese learning process, there are three stages divided in accordance with the learning difficulty degrees, that is, the primary stage, intermediate stage and advanced stage. The primary stage is the foot stone of Chinese learning, in the teaching process of which, teachers should train students’ reading ability to allow them to acquire knowledge and cultivate positive reading habits, so that students can lay a solid foundation for the future study. However, which approach should be adopted in teaching primary Chinese reading classes has always been a problem concerned by the public. As a relatively comprehensive theory in illustrating the reading process,schema theory has the guidance meaning for reading teaching. This paper aims to provide the theoretical foundation and support for the class design of foreigner-oriented Chinese reading teaching by using the schema theory. Through the theoretical guidance and teaching, it is expected to improve the primary Chinese reading teaching.This paper is composed of three sections, namely, introduction, main body and conclusion.Section one: introduction. This part mainly introduces the reasons, significances,research methods and research status quo of the topic selected by this paper.Section two: main body. An overview of the schema theory is initially given in this section, which introduces the schema conception, classification, and the reading teaching mode based on schema theory to lay the theoretical foundation for the text below. In addition, the overall theory-based teaching design is discussed with the analysis of the teaching objects, teaching goals, teaching principles, materials,teaching contents and teaching process and approaches in turn. Finally, two lessons“National Flower” and “Trip in Hong Kong” are taken as examples for specific teaching case design, the teaching effects of which are evaluated as well.Section three: conclusions. This section is a summary of the entire paper, which provides a reflection on the inspiration obtained in the writing and practical process.Meanwhile, insufficiencies existing in the research process are also analyzed.
