Recently, the Chinese textbook project "High School Chinese " was jointly compiled by Fujian Normal University Cross-Strait Cultural Development Research Center, Fujian Normal University Literature College, and Taiwan Chinese Cultural Education Society and other cross-strait institutions. Many high schools have started to use it in Taipei, Taichung , and Kaohsiung .
On October 2, as one of the pilot schools for the co-editing textbooks, Taipei Wanfang High School held a book gift ceremony and a teaching observation meeting. Dozens of Chinese education and teaching experts and Chinese teachers from Fujian and Taiwan gathered together to exchange and discuss topics such as the classroom use, text interpretation, and the value of classical Chinese. What is unique about this textbook
?
Wanfang High School students were surprised to find on the first day of school that the new Chinese textbook they had was actually a textbook jointly compiled and published by the cross-strait. 's new textbook is not only vivid and detailed, but also sets up an "editor-in-chief interpretation" for each text, writing content that students find difficult to understand into stories that are easy to teach, helping young students better understand the essence of Chinese culture and the infinite charm of Chinese language.
Since June 2014, in order to promote the project of co-edited textbooks, the three collaborative units of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have organized 14 university professors and famous middle schools to form an editorial board, and the professors of the School of Literature of Fujian Normal University, Sun Shaozhen , and Sun Jianqiu, professor of the Department of Chinese and Creation of Taipei University, served as editors respectively to promote the co-editing matters. Over the past three years, experts from both sides of the Taiwan Strait have reviewed and studied a large amount of information, visited dozens of universities and middle schools on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and successively completed the writing tasks of "High Chinese Language" (including textbooks, teacher manuals, and teacher books), "Basic Textbooks of Chinese Culture", "Selected Reading of Ancient Poetry and Essays on High Schools", etc., a total of 13 volumes and 5 million words of textbooks.
"High Chinese Literature" textbook
" Mainland textbook teaching attaches importance to text interpretation, Taiwan textbooks are known for their rich information, and the content design is also diversified. The textbooks jointly compiled by the two sides of the Taiwan Strait can exchange experiences and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, forming a systematic and complete set of scientific textbooks that are more suitable for the education and growth of youth on both sides of the Taiwan Strait." As a household name in the language circles on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Sun Shaozhen participated in the writing of the textbook throughout the process.
He said that the co-edited textbook is a process of "removing different things and reserving the same things". It combines the educational and teaching advantages of both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and sets up a separate "Editor-in-Chief Interpretation" link for each text. Focusing on this interpretation, the editorial board re-collects, verifies, and combines various related materials, writes them into easy-to-teach stories and designs . This method is very popular among students on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Compared with previous textbooks, the textbooks compiled and published this time highlight the excellent traditional Chinese culture and selected a large number of famous works in ancient and modern times, such as "Talk of Teachers" and "Yueyang Tower Inscriptions". In addition, the selections of "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius", the selections of "Hanxiong of Confucius", the selections of "Hanxiong of the Book of Songs" , the selections of "Hanxiong of the Book of Songs" and other vernacular texts, including "Kong Yiji" and "Farewell to Kangqiao".
The cross-strait co-edited textbook team will hold five textbook teaching exchange seminars in relevant schools in Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung and other places within the next few days to listen to feedback from relevant Taiwanese experts and front-line teachers.
