Modern prose plays an indispensable role in Chinese teaching in middle schools. It is an elegant and natural language which has sincere and profound emotions. Its language has a profound influence on students' aesthetic ability, emotional attitudes and values. However, in contemporary prose teaching, the beauty and cultural connotation of prose is replaced by classroom practice of repeated exercises and exploration activities. Teachers held utilitarianism attitude to teach prose and to train students from the perspective of college entrance examinations, all of which had led to a dilemma where the aesthetic factors of prose did not play a main role in teachers’ teaching and students’ study. Therefore, on the basis of modern prose teaching practice, this article explores the humanistic, high-efficient and scientific implementation strategies in Chinese teaching to cultivate junior high school students' language skills, so that they can be fully developed.
