语义图示及其在英语阅读课教学中的应用

Semantic Mapping and Its Application in English Reading Class

图式理论认为： 人们关于世界上普通物体和概念的知识是按图式组织起来的，图式是有关一个具体概念的知识总和。由于语篇是体现交际的完整单位， 读者关于语篇的知识也是按图式组织的。因此， 在阅读课上， 如果学生已有的有关课文的图式能被激活并能与课文本身具有的图式结合起来，

According to Schema theory,people's knowledge about common objects and concepts in the world is organized into schema.Schemata are collections of knowledge about some specific concept.A text is a unit for communication,therefore readers' knowledge about the text is also organized into schema.In reading class,if the students' prior knowledge about the text can be stimulated and combined with the schema of the text itself,their comprehension will be greatly enhanced.
