In the recent two decades, parents, students and teachers of junior-high-schools have a common sense that students are learning more andmore Chinese rhetorical devices. However, there is no reliable information onthe change in rhetoric teaching in junior-highs. Therefore, the researcher decidedto analyze the rhetoric teaching content of Taiwan junior-high Chinesetextbooks to understand the change of rhetoric teaching. A total number of 66junior-high Chinese textbooks based on 7 official curriculum standards/guidelines, published from 1968 to 2008, were analyzed. The result confirmedthe general impression that there was a trend showing quantitative increaseand qualitative change in rhetoric teaching content in junior-high textbooks.Compared to their parents, today junior-high students learn many morerhetorical devices, but less rhetoric on wording and sentence-making from theirtextbooks. The researcher suggested that empirical studies should be conductedto provide a solid knowledge base for rhetoric teaching and learning. |
