为了响应《义务教育语文课程标准(2022版)》倡导的课程改革，国家教育部统筹各方面力量对初中语文教材进行重新修订并于2024年秋季从七年级开始随着年级增长而逐步完成替换使用。新修订的统编版初中语文教材既继承了2019版统编初中语文教材的成功经验，又彰显了新时代语文教育领域的新理念，体现了“守正创新，稳重求进”的教材编写基本原则。本次修订聚焦2016版统编语文教材编写短板与使用问题，突出强调教材内容的思想性、时代性、实践性与教学性，重视语文实践活动的创设和开展。本文重点就2024版统编初中语文教材的修订背景、内容组织方式与选文特点展开论述并有针对性地提出使用建议，以期为初中语文一线教师使用最新版初中语文教材提供帮助。In response to the curriculum reform advocated by the “Compulsory Education Chinese Language Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition),” the Ministry of Education of China has coordinated efforts from various aspects to revise the junior high school Chinese language textbooks, with the new editions gradually replacing the old ones starting from the seventh grade in the fall of 2024 as students progress through the grades. The newly revised unified edition of junior high school Chinese language textbooks not only inherits the successful experiences of the 2019 edition but also highlights the new concepts in the field of Chinese language education in the new era, embodying the basic principles of textbook compilation: “upholding integrity and innovation, and making steady progress.” This revision focuses on addressing the shortcomings and usage issues of the 2016 edition, emphasizing the ideological, contemporary, practical, and pedagogical aspects of the textbook content, and attaching importance to the creation and implementation of Chinese language practical activities. This paper mainly discusses the revision background, content organization, and characteristics of the selected texts of the 2024 unified edition of junior high school Chinese language textbooks, and puts forward targeted suggestions for their use, aiming to provide assistance to frontline junior high school Chinese language teachers in using the latest edition of the textbooks.
