Some Preliminary Thoughts on Chinese Language Teachers' Roles Under the New Curriculum Criteria

Teachers are facing new challenges under new curriculum criteria. First, teaching concepts and ideas must be updated. Second, the traditional ways of teaching must be modernized. Third, teachers' self-improvement is urgent. Under the new curriculum criteria, I suggest, a Chinese language teacher should play the role of a director not a performer in class. And the teacher should act as a bridge between students and texts. Besides, the teacher should be an enlightener and lead students into the world of art. Last but not the least, the teacher should be a particular and helper.
