Abstract

As a teaching model that integrates knowledge, methods and perspectives of different disciplines, interdisciplinary teaching method provides a new approach for the whole-book reading teaching. Among all the whole-book reading texts in junior high school Chinese courses, both teachers and students generally report that Edgar Snow’s documentary work Red Star Over China is the most difficult one. Unlike pure literary works that possess aesthetic value, this book fails to arouse strong reading interest among students. However, the application of interdisciplinary teaching method can help break through the reading difficulties of this book. By integrating the reading of this book with ideological and political education, geography and history, it is possible to stimulate students’ reading interest and enable them to form a comprehensive understanding of the book.
