Abstract


In language learning, especially in foreign language learning, reading is an extremely important part, it is an important way for students to gain knowledge of foreign languages ??and skills. As Thomas Carlyle said, \How to cultivate students' reading ability is a problem to be solved in the college English teaching. Schema theory emphasizes reading comprehension is happening in an interactive process between the reader and the text. By using the drawings, the reader will be able to understand the relationship between various kinds of information, and thus a further understanding of the potential information not mentioned in the text. Proponents of this view believe that the reader from reading activities to acquire knowledge of the determinants of their existing knowledge. Under the guidance of this view, scientific research test. The purpose of this test is to study the role of Chinese University English major students background knowledge in reading comprehension activities. Firstly, schema theory, design of experiments. Random sample of subjects divided into experimental group and the control group. Test group to the schema theory as a guide, through the activation of reconstruction the schema and rich teaching methods, professional English teaching of reading; control group as normal with the teaching of reading theory as a guide for teaching. Secondly, the reading test. Papers design theory of schema theory, foreign language test as a guide. Rigorous statistical tests and analysis of test results, the experiment sought to prove the following assumptions: (1) the experimental group scored higher than the score of the control group; (2) after the end of the trial, the results of the experimental group compared with the previous comparatively big increase. The paper consists of the following six parts: Introduction section explains the cause of the paper, leads to the concept of schema theory. The first chapter reviews the literature about reading and schema theory, and at the end to prove assumptions. The second chapter describes the purpose of the experiment, subjects, experimental procedures, steps, statistical analysis tools. Chapter III detailed description of the experimental group schema theory as a guide to the teaching of reading in the control group to the ordinary teaching of reading theory to guide the teaching process and methods. Chapter test. Papers according to the schema theory, second language testing theory to guide the design, test reliability and validity of a reliable guarantee. With statistical tools for statistical analysis of the test results, verify the experimental assumptions. Chapter asked the significance of the test of the University of Reading pedagogy and recommendations. Finally, the concluding part. Summarizes the experimental results, the proposed test insufficient.
