[Abstract]: Oral composition, as a unique form of composition training, not only exercises students' oral expression ability, but also enhances their thinking ability, builds a bridge for the transition from visual thinking to abstract thinking, and lays the foundation for students' writing practice. However, students' subjective initiative in writing has not been fully mobilized and exerted, and oral composition can make up for many shortcomings in daily composition training.

The Chinese language class cultivates humanistic literacy, aiming to improve people's language appreciation ability, language communication and other aspects. "Oral expression composition" is a difficult point in Chinese language learning. Wei Shusheng attaches great importance to the training of oral composition in composition teaching, encouraging students to express themselves freely and creatively, and stimulating the subjective initiative of each student's composition creation. How can writing knowledge be transformed into writing ability when writing is based on and above it? Oral composition training can effectively promote the transformation of writing knowledge into writing ability.
1、 Emphasize oral expression and extend language thinking
The cultivation of Chinese language subjects is not only about being able to take exams, write, and speak, but also about cultivating humanistic literacy and improving students' language appreciation and communication skills.
The famous educator Mr. Ye Shengtao once said, "Language is an intangible article with sound, and an article is a tangible language without sound." Therefore, in order to cultivate students' written expression ability, it is necessary to cultivate and improve their oral expression ability. If students have some training in oral expression, their oral and written expression will steadily improve.
A person with good language expression ability means that they will have more advantages in the fierce social competition in the future. However, many parents are not aware of how important language and expression are for their children's growth and development, thus missing the golden period for cultivating their children's language expression abilities. Early cultivation of children's strong language expression ability has profound significance for their future development.
Oral expression ability is the primary tool for communication. Oral expression is not only reflected in oral communication, but also in daily life. Improper language when communicating with others can cause misunderstandings and even conflicts. Good language expression can keep both parties in a happy and pleasant mood. When we ask for help from others, polite and appropriate language can help us solve problems smoothly. Not only attitude is important, but also speaking skills are important. For me, the most admirable and wise person to speak is the founding diplomat Premier Zhou Enlai. Once, a foreign journalist asked the Premier, "Why is China's road called a road? It's clearly a road that people walk on." To this question, it was obvious that the other party was not polite enough, but our Premier replied, "The road we are walking on is the Marxist road, so in short, it's called a road." Therefore, I greatly admire diplomats because good language not only helps us avoid embarrassment, but also saves the face of the country. Faced with sharp questions from foreign journalists, if the wording is not appropriate, the two countries behind it may have unnecessary misunderstandings. Many students find their own articles boring, like plain language.
This is because writing articles uses written language, while speaking is done orally. Written language is more formal and serious, while oral language is more casual and popular. Writing essays mainly relies on written language, while in daily life, oral language is the main approach. Even if it is said in real life, it cannot be written word for word. Different language styles require language conversion.
For elementary school students, oral communication in Chinese books is a great way to learn how to express oneself, such as how to ask for directions or how to express oneself in the library? In class, whenever it comes to this class, I always give students one class time to express themselves, first express themselves, communicate within the group, and finally give a report. When students hear others express themselves, it also inspires them to better express themselves and teaches them how to listen.
However, there are still many students who often speak well, but when it comes to writing, there is a situation where they have nothing to say and no words to write. What is the reason for this? How can we improve it specifically?
2、 Be good at observing details and writing interesting articles in alphabetical order
Students who speak well may not necessarily write well. This is not only a pain point for students, but also a difficult problem that many Chinese language teachers cannot solve. However, as long as the right method is found for any problem, there is a breakthrough point. Following the breakthrough point will definitely lead to a solution, even a shortcut. Take writing as an example, children who truly know how to express themselves will not be unable to write good essays, and what we most easily overlook is "what is the correct oral expression". Being able to speak does not mean being able to write, the key is whether they really "speak"!
Speaking endlessly is not the correct verbal expression, and the correct verbal expression must be clear! It is necessary to exercise regularly and learn some oral expression skills to clarify what a viewpoint is reasonable, well founded, and convincing
(1)Read more books and develop a sense of written expression.
It is necessary to fully mobilize multiple senses for a comprehensive and three-dimensional immersion. Improve the language sense of written expression. There is a method, and reading is undoubtedly crucial. For the selection of books, there is also a focus on reading excellent literary works to enhance students' language sense and absorb the writing ideas and styles of famous writers. To provide some inspiration for one's own expression. The second is to review translated foreign classics to broaden one's thinking and enhance the breadth of one's thinking. The third is to choose books with fewer pictures, and more language expression can better stimulate students' complete expression of long texts. In addition to reading books, developing a sense of written expression requires fully mobilizing multiple senses for a comprehensive and three-dimensional immersion. For example, watch CCTV News, newspapers and excellent documentaries. Children must be exposed to excellent publishing products in order to develop a good sense of written expression in an excellent work environment.
(2)Guide students to consciously record before expressing themselves.
Students currently lack the ability to convert oral compositions into written expressions. In daily Chinese language teaching, composition teaching has always been a weak link in students' Chinese language learning. Especially for children in rural schools, they lack observation of life and are willing to engage in activities. The basic level of Chinese language varies greatly, and due to the impact of the epidemic, there are not many social contacts, resulting in a lack of accumulated materials. Lack of initiative and positivity in writing. Especially in the teaching of composition in each unit of primary school textbooks, when faced with the dilemma of students being uninterested in learning to write, they always have no idea what to write when it comes to writing. In today's society, there are endless new resources and strange things happening every day, but students do not pay too much attention to and understand them. The quickest and most comprehensive way to gather information is through reading.
Expand students' reading horizons, teach them to accumulate materials, consciously record small things and experiences in life, improve their appreciation ability, and learn to write about their own lives. They are good at capturing the joys and interesting things in life, and then feel the joy of writing.
(3)Adding sentence structure games to fully stimulate interest in Chinese language.
Whether during breaks or at home, classmates, teachers, or family members can play "word games" to increase their oral expression ability and further improve their writing skills through games such as expanding and shortening sentences. A simple word can be transformed from one sentence to three or five sentences by adding quantifiers, adjectives, time and place, and finally from the first word to a paragraph. Such small games not only enhance the relationship between classmates and teachers, but also enliven the family atmosphere. Unconsciously, oral expression and writing skills can be improved effortlessly. By finding and applying the above methods in a timely manner, I believe that oral expression will become better and better.
The study of written expression characteristics in children is an important component of research on children's language development. To design written expression training that is close to students' lives, only when students have a strong sense of participation and real activity experiences, can there be coherent and rich expression. The composition arrangement of the unified textbook strengthens the design of real-life task scenarios. Teachers should pay attention to the dynamic development of students' writing motivation, enthusiasm, and writing habits in real task situations. The unified primary school Chinese textbooks for grades three to six are arranged according to several sections: intensive reading of texts, skimming of texts, oral communication, writing, and Chinese language garden. In units other than the composition unit, on the surface only "composition" is related to expression elements, but in fact, every text, oral communication, and Chinese language field are intricately related to expression elements. Their whole or part can become the place of writing learning and the starting point of writing teaching activities.
So how to integrate oral and written expression together? Oral expression is a point, while written writing is the process of connecting different points together to form a surface. A point refers to a certain part of a scene, while a surface is the overall picture of all departments combined into one scene. Through oral expression, details are reflected, images are portrayed, and the author's perspective is fully presented through written expression. This is the ultimate method of completing writing and the most important goal of oral expression composition.
Although the road is endless and faraway, I still want to pursue the truth in the world. Oral communication and written expression are indispensable parts of students' writing. Starting from learning to appreciate, students' writing talents can be fully developed, and their potential can be turned into reality. As a Chinese language teacher, one should neither work in isolation nor act arbitrarily. One must base oneself on the text, go against one's will, understand the world, learn to persevere, and dare to innovate. Only in this way can one become a charming and personalized Chinese language teacher.
