A Study On Teaching High School Expository Literature Based On Scaffolded Teaching

Discursive literary texts are an important part of literary languages,and their language is rigorous and strong in reasoning,capable of expressing complex truths in depth and simplicity.By studying theoretical literary texts,students can express their own opinions,develop the quality of thinking,and achieve the goal of independent thinking.Scaffolded teaching originates from constructivism and the nearest developmental zone theory,and has a deep pedagogical theoretical foundation.It can create situations in the classroom to stimulate students’ interest in learning and let them learn actively;it emphasizes that teachers build scaffolds for learners,guide students to construct knowledge in the learning process,promote learning through assessment,return the classroom to students,and continuously improve students’ ability to think independently.Therefore,it is feasible to introduce scaffolding teaching into high school classroom teaching of expository literary texts,and it is worth studying.Discursive literary texts are both the focus and the difficulty of high school language study.At present,there are five main problems in the teaching of expository literary texts in high school: first,students’ weak learning foundation;second,students’ lack of interest in learning;third,teachers’ poor understanding of the characteristics of expository literary texts;fourth,too much teacher domination and failure to realize students’ main position;fifth,lack of effective assessment and failure to promote efficient learning.In view of the above problems,the author proposes corresponding teaching strategies around the teaching mode of "scaffolding teaching" :1.prepare scaffolding to consolidate students’ learning foundation;2.create contextual scaffolding to stimulate students’ interest in learning;3.build scaffolding around the genre to enhance students’ literacy;4.build collaborative scaffolding to promote students’ collaborative learning;5,Build an effective assessment scaffold to promote learning through assessment.On the basis of the research of high school language expository literary texts and scaffolding teaching,the author proposes five major aspects of scaffolding teaching with the help of Professor He Keguang,taking teaching design as an example,in order to provide some practical teaching methods for high school front-line teachers and improve the quality of high school expository literary teaching.
