In "Letters on Chinese Education" (the second part), Ye Lao thinks that "students must be able to read and write, so they set up Chinese classes for training. The ultimate goal is: to be able to learn without waiting for the teacher to speak; I can write my own composition without waiting for the teacher to correct it. Teacher training must achieve these two points in order to succeed in teaching. "

This is the truth that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Teachers should not only teach students knowledge and skills, but also teach students the methods and abilities to acquire knowledge independently. At the same time, it emphasizes that teachers should pay attention to cultivating students' good study habits when "teaching".

Ye Lao believes that Chinese teaching "must turn all methods into their own habits, then it can be considered as the implementation of the original purpose of learning Chinese", so that students can learn and grow independently after leaving teachers and classrooms to meet their own development needs.

2. Make students active.

Ye Lao said that the ultimate goal of Chinese classroom teaching is to realize "no teaching" and let students develop their reading ability without teachers. Students will often read in the future. Can the teacher always follow?

Therefore, while teaching, we should gradually lay the foundation for "no teaching". The way to lay the foundation is not to let students just listen passively, but to find ways to guide them to think consciously while listening.

In other words, let students become the masters of the classroom, give students the initiative to learn, make students learn passively and actively, give play to their subjectivity and enthusiasm, stimulate students' interest in learning, make students love learning, take the initiative to learn, and develop good study habits. In this way, "not teaching" has a basis.

3. The role of teachers is to inspire and guide.

"Anyone who teaches will be expected to achieve no need to teach. The teacher's task is only to inspire and guide students to gradually increase their knowledge, expand their books, understand themselves and write their own books. "

Ye Lao said: "The teacher's exclusive 45 minutes is not suitable for this requirement. Speaking and asking questions are not enlightening, so it is not easy for students to think consciously. How to inspire students and make them think consciously is an extremely important project for teachers to prepare lessons. The teacher of this project really took the lead when he did it. "

While stressing that teaching activities should be student-centered, Ye Lao did not ignore the role of teachers, but put forward higher requirements for teachers. Teachers' responsibility lies in promoting students' active transition to "no teaching". Therefore, teachers should change from "speaking" to "guiding".
