The performance over China of RegCM4-CLM with different convection schemes is analyzed in this study, based on a series of short- term experiments.The model is driven by ERA-Interim data at a grid spacing of 25 km.The convection schemes employed are: Emanuel; Grell; Emanuel over land and Grell over ocean; Grell over land and Emanuel over ocean; and Tiedtke. The simulated mean surface air temperature and precipitation in December-February-January and June-July-August are compared against observation. In general, better performance of Emanuel is found both for temperature and precipitation, and in both seasons. Thus, the model physics of CLM and Emanuel for the land surface processes and convection, respectively, are recommended for further application of RegCM4 over the China region. The de^ciencies that remain in the model arealso outlined and discussed.展开更多

In view of modern schema theory, this paper focuses on its application in the three stages of interpretation practice. Schema plays a role in preparation before interpretation, which includes enhancing the interpreter's linguistic competence, and enlarging his storage of background information; schema influences performance during interpretation in terms of comprehension and note-taking; summary after interpretation is to supplement original schema. With the guidance of schema theory, interpretation practice can be carried out in an effective way.展开更多

And BE (business English), on the other hand, is drawn more and more attentions as a specialized usage of language. This paper will probe into the application of Schema Theory into BE teaching through discussing three types of schemata. In order to facilitate learning, BE teachers should help students modify their exiting schemata, such as teaching them the terminology used in BE, and the factual and socio-cultural knowledge of the business, and improve their ability to speak and listen English in business展开更多

People carry different schemas (background knowledge) that play an important role in guiding people's behaviors in intercultural communication. The purpose of this paper is to attempt to theoretically apply communication strategies to the development of intercultural communicative competence in light of Cultural Schema Theory. It focuses on the relationship between cultural schema and intercultural communicative competence. Some pedagogical implications are given that cultural schema could be previously intended to help communicaters have a better and easier life when they are living in other countries, such as awareness raising, knowledge acquisition, emotional management, and skills development. This paper is written on the basis of a collection of the Chinese university students' experience of culture-learning. The study has certain significance in the practice on cultural acquisition, communication competence, and intercultural communication.展开更多

Schema theory is a scientific reading theory advocated by modern teaching, and it regards the reading comprehension as a process that readers' knowledge and skills interact with the information in the reading material. In this paper, a questionnaire is conducted to reveal the fact that students lack schemata in reading and then a proposal that language schema, content schema, and form schema be integrated to activate students' existing schemata in the process of reading is put forward展开更多

Schema theory holds the view that listeners' background knowledge plays a key role in understanding a new text. Applying schema theory to teaching listening comprehension, the author introduces the "three-stage" teaching mode. Activating the existing schemata and building the related semantic map in the pre-listening stage, bettering the semantic map in while-listening stage, and practicing the newly-existed schemata in post-listening stage can make all the teaching procedures a whole, and make students feel much easier to understand the listening materials.展开更多

Psychological linguistics provides a new point of view for college English teaching. From the aspect of psychological linguistics theory this paper discusses some issues, including how to train students to complete the reading process independently, how to build the schema to achieve integrated discourse comprehension, how to choose the most appropriate reading model, in order to improve the English reading skill and provide some enlightenment for college English reading teaching.展开更多

However, the reading effect seems unsatisfying,which poses a great challenge for reading teaching. In this paper, the author explores the reading process andapplies the Schema Theory, in order to prove the important role of background knowledge in readingcomprehension. Based on this discussion, suggested teaching methods are available for employing backgroundknowledge in reading teaching.展开更多

The process of knowledge acquisition is an assimilative process, in which the logic sense of the material in the form of words or any other symbolic representation interact with the notions in students' cognitive structure and hence produce individual psychological sense. This paper also observes teaching of English reading from the following six dimensions of the three perspectives of micro-proposition, synthetic-proposition and macro-proposition:1.degree of similarity of basic category words; 2. ambiguity of words and sentences; 3. ambiguity of the 'signifying' and the 'signified'; 4. the distance between the 'signifying' and the 'signified'; 5. the regressive search of cognition; 6. the unification of the 'part' and the 'whole'. The paper probes into the factors that influence students' cognitive process and the practice of schema theory in teaching.展开更多

The article thoroughly investigates the unified theory (as Kintsch defines), construction-integration theory in text comprehension, which is mainly based upon the comparison with and analysis of the applications of schema theory from the perspective of language reading comprehension. The author tries to work out and illustrate this model as an alternative approach to the schema-oriented models previously used to solve reading comprehension problems in language teaching and leaning.展开更多

Then we have the canonical inclusion Z(p)→ zp. Let S2n-1(p) be the p-local (2n- 1)-sphere and let B2n(p) be a connected p-local space satisfying S2n-l(p)≌ΩB2n(p), then H*B2n(p),Z(p)) = Z(p)[U] with |u| = 2n. Define the degree of a self-map f of B2n(p) to be k E Z(p) such that f*(u) = ku. Using the theory of integer-valued polynomials we show that there exists a self-map of B2n(p) of degree k if and only if k is an n-th power in Zp.展开更多

Under such circumstances, greater importance has been attached to English teaching of which reading has been given some privileges at the tertiary level in China.Hence, it is very essential for language teachers to have a good understanding about how to teach reading in a College English classroom.This article discusses what reading is, the important issues in teaching reading and gives some proposals for how to teach reading efficiently in a College English classroom, aiming to give an idea that reading can be learnt effectively if students are motivated,exposed to English language and given chances to use English.展开更多
