教育离不开文学的教育，但我们的中学语文教学在新世纪经济大潮的席卷下，在高考改革的功利性学习过程中，却忽视了文学教育这个重要的方面，中学实施文学教育迫在眉睫。作为教育主体，我们应具备一定的文艺学素养，采取帮助选择经典著作阅读、激发学生写作欲望、丰富交流手段等教育方式方法进行有效的文学教育。如此，我们就不必担忧文学经典在新时代的中学生中没落。 Education is inseparable from the literature education, but in the new century, with the development of economy, we have ignored the importance of literature education in Chinese teaching, just because of the college entrance examination reform, which causes the learning to be more utilitarian. So it has become im- minent to carry out literature education in middle school. As the main body of education, we should have a certain literary attainments and use different means of teaching to make literature education more effective, such as helping students choose some classic reading, stimulating students’ writing desire and creating more ways to communication. In that case, we don’t have to worry that classic literature will become downfallen among the students in the new era.
