技巧

學生問栗,有甚麼方法可以改善語文科成績?栗回說,不外乎「多聽、多說、多讀、多寫」。學生再問,沒有技巧嗎?栗不禁搖頭嘆息。


語文科不知從何時開始,搭上了技巧 (skill) 這個騙子。考究起來,最先該是源自補習天皇的考試必殺技()吧?然後坊間擁現各式關於考試技巧的參考書。接著,學校老師加入戰團,在課堂上講起答題技巧來。久而久之,學生便迷信技巧,漠視語文根基。


本來該把學生罵個狗血淋頭的,但活在一個連成人也四處找捷徑的功利社會,學生急於求成的心態,似乎變得情有可原。說到底,時代不同了,以現今的資訊量,學生再沒時間細味文章;只能從大量資訊中,選取合適的運用。這種反映在試題上的轉變,才是令人心虛浮、技巧猖獗的元兇。

  3. Moi?   Did I really say that? 
     
    Gee, maybe I'm smarter (or cleverer, for you Anglophiles) than I thought...
    [版主回覆05/19/2010 21:41:00]You're right about two things, Teacher:
    1. You are really cleverer than you thought!
    2. Indeed I am an Anglophile
