"A Preliminary Study on the Integration of Humanistic Themes into Reading Instruction and Strategies for Alignment between Teaching and Testing in Senior High School Chinese Macro-Unit Teaching"

Abstract

As educational reforms continue to deepen, the significance of the senior high school Chinese macro-unit teaching model in the field of education has become increasingly prominent. This study focuses on macro-unit teaching in senior high school Chinese, examining strategies for integrating humanistic themes into reading instruction and achieving effective alignment between teaching and testing. Research findings indicate that the effective integration of humanistic themes plays a vital role in cultivating students' core competencies. It not only enriches students' language construction, enhances logical thinking, and promotes cultural inheritance but also guides students in establishing correct values and improving their comprehensive learning abilities. In terms of reading instruction task design and implementation, factors such as students' central role, teaching content vehicles, learning activity formats, and competency attainment goals should be fully considered. By creating appropriate contexts, designing tasks based on language situations, and balancing content with linguistic principles, students' reading proficiency can be systematically improved. For teaching-testing alignment, strategies including integrating literary text reading around humanistic themes, designing question chains, and conducting writing exercises enable students to better adapt to the college entrance examination (Gaokao) and enhance their comprehensive Chinese language capabilities. However, current teaching practices exhibit deficiencies in theoretical depth, detailed practical case studies, teaching effectiveness evaluation, adaptability to student characteristics and resource availability, as well as attention to cutting-edge developments. Subsequent pedagogical improvements should involve deepening theoretical research, elaborating practical case examples, establishing scientific evaluation systems, enhancing strategy adaptability, and integrating advanced educational technologies. These measures aim to optimize the integration of humanistic themes in high school Chinese macro-unit instruction and strengthen the alignment between teaching and assessment, thereby laying a solid foundation for students" Chinese language acquisition and long-term development.
