摘要 在英语教学领域,阅读能力历来被证明是最重要的能力之一。从英语教学现状看，高中阶段的英语阅读学习对学生策略与能力的运用有了更高要求，而课堂上侧重知识的教学方式并不利于学生策略与能力的发展。

本研究以具体阅读文本为基础，试图研究基于图式理论的高中英语阅读教学的模式，旨在提高中学生英语阅读能力。在实际阅读教学中，图式理论被应用于阅读教学的三个阶段开展不同的教学活动。

为了证实这种阅读教学方法对提高学生阅读理解能力的效果及可行性，作者在淮安楚州中学进行了一个学期的教学实验，高二两个班学生参与此实验。把这两个班随机地分为一个实验班和一个控制班，两个班英语水平基本相当。控制班采用常规的英语阅读教学方法。实验班则运用图示理论为指导的阅读教学。经过测试分析和问卷调查，实验班的阅读理解平均成绩高于控制班成绩,差异显著。为了进一步提升阅读水平，学生依旧需要加强词汇语法学习。

1。 Introduction 

The main point in New National Curricula Standard (2003) for the senior high school is to emphasize the reading teaching, and to improve simultaneously the students’ integral abilities of reading and awareness of discourse analysis, to push forward reading teaching to a new standard。 Although much attention has been paid by teachers and students to the learning of English reading, the teaching methods applied by most middle school English teachers is still questionable。 For teachers, instead of introducing any background information to their students before reading or giving students guidance for how to construct reading framework, most teachers still use the traditional teaching method。 They still make students focus on vocabulary and grammar sentence by sentence。 As for students, though much exercise has been done, there is little progress being made。 As a result, they themselves often feel frustrated。 It shows that the current teaching method couldn’t meet students’ needs and there is an urgent call for a fundamental change in the teaching method．论文网
