Chapter 105: Accelerated Literacy
The place where the class is held is a large shed, which can barely be sheltered from the wind and rain.
Yan Zheng had a wooden board nailed, and the top was smeared with charcoal black at the bottom of the pot, and then some chalk was made of lime.
Since the tribe could not yet make paper, it was impossible to have so-called teaching materials, and the conditions could be said to be very difficult, but this did not prevent the spread of knowledge.
In fact, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the literacy campaign was carried out in most areas under such conditions, and even after thirty or forty years, the teaching conditions in many remote areas were very poor.
At that time, the barefoot teachers, who did not eat the state's commercial grain, did not occupy the urban household registration establishment, and received extremely meager subsidies, educated generation after generation of rural intellectuals.
Therefore, those barefoot teachers who speak dialects, have to go to the fields to farm when they are busy, and may have studied for three or four years, can be said to be a great spectacle.
However, no one can deny that the product of such specific historical conditions has greatly improved the cultural level of the entire nation, and at least enabled a large number of civilians to learn to read and write, and to learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
And such a good thing, such a practical thing, Yan Zheng naturally took it directly.
He doesn't expect to teach everyone advanced knowledge, but he expects to teach them to calculate and summarize in words, and with these two skills, he can put them on the front line of production.
When the time comes, the experience will help them become proficient in their work.
Those who excel and have good qualifications will be selected to continue their studies. In the end, two types of talents for research and application are formed, just like in the last century.
Yan Zheng believes that being able to write will be regarded as the foundation, with this foundation, a worker can sum up his own experience, and after more than ten years in a line, he will definitely have his own understanding of a position.
When the time comes, as long as we fully believe in the masses and attach importance to the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people, we will certainly be able to achieve greater development.
At that time, he will also make a pamphlet of the experience of these people, and write the names of these people in the history books!
……
"Seventh sister, I'm afraid, why are there so many people here? And some of them are gone! ”
Sitting under the shed, Li Ya, who had been renamed by Yan Zheng, was not bold in an instant.
In fact, they were divided into two classes, but there were many people on the left, and there were thirteen women on the right.
Wang Qimei was not so panicked, her big eyes were still a little dull, she looked at the blackboard on the podium stupidly and said, "They are good people!" ”
Li Ya shrank back, poked her head out and said, "I...... I'm still afraid! I don't want to read and write anymore. ”
"This ...... This is what the chief demanded! Wang Qimei hurriedly reminded.
Li Ya lowered her head helplessly, wiped her tears and said: "I've been having nightmares lately, and Aunt He has been saying that our cheap lives are worthless, and the short-haired king is willing to raise us, and he must want to give us to these barbarians." ”
Wang Qimei sighed blankly, and it was difficult to answer.
Li Ya's tears fell like beads: "If I knew this, it would be better to die, at least leave a clean body!" ”
Wang Jiang on the side whispered: "You stupid girl, what can we talk about innocence?"
If the family is more comfortable, the daughter can suffer less, and how many poor families have to laugh with the rich man. Over the years, how many have sold their daughters? How many have sent their daughters to pay off their debts? ”
Li Ya stopped talking, and the experience of these days left too deep a shadow in her heart.
Wang Qimei seems to see it very clearly, maybe she has subconsciously accepted her fate, so she is pushed by fate in such a daze.
"Silence!" Yan Zheng, who was on the podium, also spoke at this time.
He taught the children of the tribe first, which is also a matter of no choice, can't he teach bilingually, right?
Everyone immediately looked at the podium, and they couldn't be quieter anymore, especially after seeing the two teams of soldiers surrounding the shed, they were even more focused.
Yan Zheng held a teaching stick in his hand, just the kind made of small bamboo, when he was studying, he was often knocked by the teacher with a teaching stick.
He cleared his throat and said, "From today onwards, let's learn to read." Our tribe has never had a written word before, which is very inconvenient! Words are a kind of symbol, just like totems, representing something. For example, this word! ”
Yan Zheng wrote the word "one" on the blackboard and said: "This character is called one, which indicates the relationship between quantities, such as a person, a tree, a knife, a bamboo raft, a house, and a piece of!" ”
"And this word, pronounced two, is two horizontal!"
"This word is to pronounce three, three horizontal!"
"Then can anyone tell me, how to write four?"
"It's four horizontal!" A dumbfounded little boy said.
"Wrong, the fourth is like this!" Yan Zheng smiled after writing and said: "Words are ever-changing, and words can express meaning in sentences, so it is very important!" ”
"And what I'm going to teach today is the Accelerated Literacy Method! The quick literacy method was invented by the first saint Qi Jianhua, and the purpose is to make everyone literate faster! ”
After Yan Zheng popularized the concept of writing, he first wrote down the side deployment, phonetic symbols and pinyin on the blackboard.
And in order to simplify it even more, he directly adopted Latin pinyin.
As illiterate, Wang Qimei naturally can't see how this is different from Daming's private school lectures.
It's just that Wang Jiang noticed this difference and exclaimed: "Shouldn't this word be square?" Why is this short-haired king crooked, like an earthworm! And a few decent ones are also missing arms and legs! ”
"Shorthair! What kind of culture is there, you look at these barbarians, although they look strong, they know at a glance that they don't have any culture. A woman on the side hurriedly chimed in.
"That is, what they say is also the same as the chirping of birds, and occasionally a few words pop up in it that they can understand, and I don't know what they mean!"
Several women chattered and discussed, and after listening to Wang Qimei for a while, she felt that there was no other problem except that she didn't understand.
When Yan Zheng took those children to read pinyin, learn the side, and learn the tone, these women could be regarded as understanding it.
And these tribal children, one by one, also studied very seriously, after teaching more than a dozen pinyin and sideways, Yan Zheng let them study by themselves, and then moved the blackboard in front of the thirteen women.
"As a Ming person, you naturally know what the text is about, so I won't go into details!" Yan Zheng went straight to the topic and began to teach pinyin, sideways and tones.
This is the equivalent of allowing dialect speakers to learn Mandarin while teaching them to use literacy aids.
According to the experience accumulated in the last century, the Literacy Campaign was accelerated literacy, first with church aids, and then with a surprise word teaching.
After using the phonetic word list to spell and read the new words, and then explain the real meaning in combination with the actual life.
Then you can organize revision, support and tutoring, and after consolidating and reading the text, you can try to throw away the auxiliary tools.
Finally, as long as there is a language environment, then in 150 hours of teaching time, illiterate and semi-literate people can learn 500 Chinese characters.
Under the current conditions and times, Yan Zheng does not dare to pursue 150 hours to achieve this effect, but he is willing to spend one to two years to cultivate a group of language teaching talents.
