60年代初,语文“工具”说便鲜明地树起了这面旗帜,后来又写进教学大纲,非常权威。但它始终也未能使语文教育真正摆脱困境,走出低谷。于是人们不得不冷静下来再思考,我们惊讶地发现:在语文教育界权威了数十年的“工具”说,其实是一个不真实的演绎;正因为它的权威和不真实,才给语文教育带来了或许我们还不愿承受而又不得不承受的误 In the early 1960s, the “tools” of Chinese language clearly set up this banner, and later it was written into the syllabus, which is very authoritative. However, it has also failed to make language education really out of its predicament and has come out of the doldrums. So people had to calm down and think again. We were surprised to find that the “tools” that have been the authority of the Chinese language education for decades are actually an unrealistic interpretation; because of its authority and untruth, it is only for Chinese education. Brings an error that we may not even have to bear but have to bear.
