Abstract: literary theory as a Chinese Language and Literature majors a basic course. In his own concept of complex, abstract abstruse, not teaching methods, materials selection and other reasons a serious impact on students' interest in learning, leading to a teaching dilemma. This in line with the teaching of literary theory, the plight of the sort, from the professional level of teachers, teaching materials and attention to literature guard three attempts to break through.


1, the plight of teaching literary theory
1.1 marginalization of literature
If the early 1980s, the Chinese literature at the time the campus is the most remarkable subjects, a large number of excited, motivated young people eager to learn to read literary classics choice, even for non-Department of Chinese students will be holding a novel or literary theory, then no one can be said of the campus do not read literature, but to the nineties, with the reform and opening up, and comprehensively promote the market economy, gradually marginalized literature, literary theory and literary classics no one is interested in becoming college campuses, even if the majority of the Department of Chinese students will only back in the exam back a textbook, problem sets, usually of literary monograph is no passion .90's great debate on the human spirit, expressing the It is this spirit of the times the noise lost, because people can not seem to accept the literature about the marginalization of the human spirit can not accept the decline, but all in the tide of commodity economy, a done deal.

1.2 Man on the plane
Since the 1960s, the Western rise of postmodernism, Heidegger, 维特格斯坦, Foucault, Derrida, Lyotard and other philosophers have raised the digestion of essentialism, digestion pattern of the depth of the banner. The so-called essentialism that is, it is not assumed that things have a certain nature, but assume a transcendent historical, the eternal nature of existence in general, adhere to the grand narrative or meta-narrative, then it is the deconstruction of modern meta-narrative, and This philosophy, literature and thought of the impact of the performance of the original depth in the literature, the postmodern sublime is flat, vulgar, and we are no longer regarded as a literary classic, no longer pay homage to the literary theory that nature is not worth concern, but increasingly concerned about the plane of knowledge, this trend also affected the majority of Chinese intellectuals and students, this precursor to the West they present themselves as objects, although some blind, but after all, affect their passion for literature.

1.3 teaching dilemma
Literary theory and literature than the more abstract and incomprehensible, more mysterious, students are required to accept a process, some students in the class will be deserted, do not listen to what the teacher taught, which makes it have than the literature the plight of more complex reasons. Furthermore, in the current teaching, some schools choose textbooks from the pulse of the times serious, or does not meet the actual students, either too specialized or not deep enough. In addition, some teachers the classes are relatively backward, scripted or serious and rigid teaching, can not receive good results, making the teaching of literary theory into hardship among these practical difficulties, if not effectively addressed, will inevitably reduce the students' learning interest and desire for knowledge, they will be more reluctant to involve literary theory, in short, break the plight of the teaching of literary theory is imperative.

2, break through the difficulties of teaching literary theory
2.1 teachers to enhance their professional level
Improve their professional level of teachers to address the dilemma for many teachers often overlooked, but if teachers do not improve their professional quality, so that students can not be convinced, lectures students will completely lose interest in the plight of all the way out would be empty talk, Now some teachers and backward, a courseware used year after year, never changes, serious behind the spirit of the times, so teachers should improve their professional level, can be multi-faceted improvement, both to read, on the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign literary theory in the history of important works, such as <<poetry>> like "Wen Xin Diao Long>> so read, should always pay attention to cutting-edge knowledge of literary theory, can not let yourself fall behind and only a serious effort to read, be aware of, will have a profound experience, and only keep cutting-edge information in order to teach the students to not panic when the same time, teachers must improve their teaching methods, not too old-fashioned, serious to appropriate, appropriate humor funny, follow through induction, students in the natural, free classroom atmosphere, immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

2.2 ensuring the quality of materials selection
Materials is an important way to acquire knowledge of students, teachers school credentials, teaching level will directly affect the quality of teaching for teaching literary theory, although now most of the schools selected are the one of the recent literature, teaching materials, but still there are some problems. like Tong Qingbing edited <<literary theory tutorial, "Wang Yi Chuan editor of the <<History of Western literary theory tutorial>> and so on, these two materials, in-body is different, Qing-Bing Tong's" literary theory tutorial>> Introduction to nature is more, and Wang Yi Chuan's <<Western literary theory tutorial>> is relatively background analysis, case analysis, in-depth reading teachers in the teaching process, can not be limited to a material, such as <<literary theory tutorial> > of these books, students can make in a short period of time covering the basic theory of literary form, content, style, and so have a general understanding, but as <<Western Literature Tutorials>> this book, there are some inspiration and scalability, can increase students' interests for the literary theory of addition as the Tao Dongfeng editor of the "fundamental problems of literary theory" is some of the integration of ancient and modern topics, allowing students to be able to mastery of Chinese and Western literary theory, Therefore, these materials have excellent long, in the selection of materials, be sure to take care of the students' actual needs.

Only good material to do to protect students in the preview or review can be targeted only to be able to learn new things, teachers and the teaching process, focusing on the play materials to increase student interest in learning.

2.3 The importance of literature, literary theory to simplify
More than professional quality of teachers, as well as the importance of teaching in all matters of interest related to the student, as long as the open interest in learning problems, many problems will be solved, but only these two aspects are not sufficient to improve student interest in learning, but also should enhance students' reading of the literature.

As we all know, literary theory and literary relations are inextricably linked, a lot of literary theory is generated from the literature, such as narrative and structuralist theory of science fact, not literature, with many of the more abstruse literary theory is teachers in teaching a particular topic, you can give students of literary theory and literary works listed a combination of extended reading table of contents, so that the students will not feel so difficult to understand, but also in the works of literary experience, insight and analysis, with the students ability to appreciate literature, language, intuition-sensitive power, discourse structure of the grasp of power, of the characters to enhance the understanding, will make their theoretical knowledge with their mastery, or read in the literature of the product theory of taste in reading or with the theory of thinking to read literature, so for the theoretical knowledge and literary works will have a more profound understanding, while teachers lecture, interspersed with literary theory interpretation of literary works, to guide students to illustrate, making students feel the usefulness of literary theory, is not without value, but yet its use.

In short, the teaching of literary theory to solve practical difficulties, which requires teachers to raise the level of their business, teachers, students follow through induction, but also requires students to work hard to cultivate the ability of interest from literary theory, and only such teaching and learning, teachers and students interaction in order to maximize solve this problem.
