Reading plays an essential role in second language acquisition. However,Chinese college students still have much difficulty in effective reading after more than 10 years of English study. The application of schema theory can effectually improve reading. The study mainly expands on the instructive role of schema theory in reading comprehension. Schema theory can be applied in the whole reading process,which includes three phrases： pre- reading,while- reading and post- reading. The application of schema theory in reading may raise students＇ interest in the text,improve their reading speed and help them make proper forecast and inference,which in turn,facilitates their comprehension.
