Whether to use online idioms in educational materials needs to be weighed according to teaching goals, audience characteristics, and context. Whether avoiding online idioms will affect the comprehension of young readers depends on the following key factors： --- ### **1. The role and risks of network idioms** -**Advantage**： -**Closeness**: Online idioms (such as ”breaking defense“ and ”Jue Juezi") can quickly narrow the distance with young readers and enhance the interest and sense of substitution of materials. -**Epochality**: Appropriate use can reflect the dynamics of language development and help learners understand contemporary cultural and social phenomena. -**Risk**： -**Ambiguity**: Network terms may have vague meanings or have regional differences (for example, “yyds” is difficult to understand for non-network users). -**Timeliness**: Some vocabulary may quickly become outdated, causing the content of the textbook to appear outdated. -**Insufficient professionalism**: In academic or formal settings, excessive use may weaken the rigor of the content. --- ### **2. The needs and characteristics of young readers** -**Cognitive habits**: The younger generation is more familiar with internet idioms, but long-term dependence may lead to insufficient mastery of normative language. -**Learning goals**： -If the goal is to cultivate language skills in formal settings (such as academic writing and workplace communication), priority must be given to standardized expressions. -If the goal is to stimulate interest or discuss social phenomena (such as media literacy classes), online idioms can be selectively introduced as cases. --- ### **3. Types and scenarios of educational materials** -**Young or informal materials**: Such as extracurricular books and interest class courseware, Internet idioms can be used moderately to assist in understanding. -**Examination materials or professional content**: Internet idioms need to be avoided to ensure the accuracy and universality of information. -**Cross-cultural or international audiences**: Online idioms may cause barriers to understanding, and caution is required. --- ### **4. Balanced strategy** -**Selective use**: Introduce network idioms in comments, cases, or interactive links, but mark their informal attributes. -For example: “'Inner volume’ (Internet idiom, refers to excessive competition) is called ‘invalid competition’ in sociology. ” -**Comparative teaching**: Compare online idioms with standardized expressions to help learners distinguish contexts. -**Dynamic updates**: Regularly revise materials and eliminate outdated online vocabulary. --- ###**Conclusion** Avoiding online idioms may not necessarily reduce the understanding of young readers, but complete rejection may miss the opportunity to resonate with the audience. **The key is through layered design**： -**Core content**: Use standardized language to ensure accuracy. -**Auxiliary content**: Use network idioms as a supplement in appropriate scenarios. The ultimate goal is to cultivate learners' ability to flexibly switch language styles in different contexts, rather than simply catering to or rejecting a certain form of expression.
