Chapter 1 Introduction


1.1 Background of the Research

Under the pressure of exam-oriented education and college entranceexaminations, high school English teachers often only pay attention to the cultivationof students’ listening, speaking, reading and writing skill. They always take learningscores as center causing students’ lack of humanistic knowledge and resulting in weakcomprehensive ability.

Liu Runqing ( 2015 ) pointed out that English is a humanities subject, andhumanities education cannot be overemphasized. Language teaching and humanitiesknowledge are complementary and inseparable. In high school English teaching,teachers should integrate humanities knowledge into English teaching, which enablestudents to accumulate knowledge of literature, religion, history, art, law andphilosophy in English classes. It can not only broaden students’ horizons, but alsoimprove students’ comprehensive quality and promote students’ all-rounddevelopment.

New Curriculum Standard emphasizes the comprehensive training of students’language ability, cultural awareness, thinking quality and learning ability. Culturalawareness mainly refers to acquiring cultural knowledge. According to NewCurriculum Standard (2017), cultural knowledge refers to: Excellent Humanities andscientific knowledge at home and abroad. Therefore, humanistic knowledge is a partof cultural knowledge. In this paper, the author will make a research on Englishteachers about humanistic knowledge teaching.

Chapter 2 Literature Review


2.1 Relevant Definition

2.1.1 Definition of Humanistic Quality

Different scholars have different definition on humanistic quality. Du Shizhong(1999) states that humanistic quality involves how the human beings deals with therelationship among the nature, the society, other people’ relations as well as their ownideal, emotion, will and other social attribute aspect. Xu Jie (2004) points out thathumanistic quality, from its connotation, contains the humanities knowledge qualityand the humanities spirit quality. Zhou li (2004) considers humanistic quality is thebasic accomplishment of being a person. It is a comprehensive manifestation ofpeople’s acquisition of humanistic knowledge and formation of humanistic knowledgestructure, and a comprehensive embodiment of the behavioral ability of relatedhumanistic knowledge in practice. In a word, humanistic knowledge can beinternalized into students’ humanistic quality, thus promoting students’ all-rounddevelopment.

Liu Weihua (2005) thinks that humanistic quality mainly refers to the unity ofhumanistic knowledge, social ability and humanistic spirit. It is more related to thesocial and artistic fields.

The core connotation of humanistic quality is humanistic knowledge, humanisticspirit and interpersonal skills. Among the three, humanistic knowledge is the basis forthe formation of humanistic quality, and the improvement of humanistic quality isinseparable from the accumulation of humanistic knowledge. Humanistic spirit is the core of humanistic quality, and the improvement of humanistic spirit depends on theinternalization and integration of humanistic knowledge (Xiao Zhenyu ,2011).


2.2 Theoretical Foundation of the Present Research

2.2.1 Humanistic Education theory

Rogers (1952) applied his humanistic theory to education and formed his uniqueview of education purpose, student view, teaching view and teacher view. Rogersproposed to cultivate people with all-round development. He pays attention to thefulfillment of personal potential and the complete development of people, aiming tomake people “fully perform their functions”.

Humanistic education is based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, takingself-realization as the highest pursuit of human beings. It is necessary to fully developand utilize students’ abilities, talents, and potentials, so that students can realize their aspirations on the basis of their own growth and development (Wang Yufei, 2012).

Human needs are divided into five levels from low to high like a ladder:Psychological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs and self-realizationneeds. Maslow believes that the most ideal person is a “self-actualizing person”.Self-actualization may be roughly described as making full use of and developingtalents, abilities, potentials, and so on. The premise of self-realization must have acomfortable environment (Maslow 1943). In teaching, teachers should strive to createa comfortable and harmonious learning atmosphere for students’ learning. Teachersmust meet the needs of students’ self-realization. The need for self-realization is thatpeople desire to realize their potential. The development of students’ potential isinseparable from teachers’ teaching purpose, content, methods, evaluation, andteaching environment.
