Abstract

Due to the coming of knowledge economy, the lifelong learning becomes necessary for the college students. Currently, the college English education still stays in the traditional teaching mode. This mode does not pay much attention to the cultivation of English reading comprehension ability. The college graduates commonly have low reading comprehension ability and cannot read the professional literatures, and therefore, they cannot achieve new knowledge by themselves. In this paper, the author discusses the cognitive rules of schema theory and applies them to the English teaching of reading comprehension. The author also proposes some strategies on reading comprehension teaching.
