Abstract
Schema theory holds the view that reader’s background knowledge plays a significant role in the process of reading teaching. In literacy, there are three types of schemata: linguistic schema, formal schema, and content schema, which are closely related to reading comprehension. Any change of the schema will influence the result of reading comprehension. Meanwhile, the shortage of one schema will be supplied by other schemata. The application of schema theory can help students improve their reading ability and make them complete the reading comprehension easily and correctly. This thesis aims to explore the implications and applications of schema theory and middle school English Reading in order to provide a new way to improve English Reading.

I. Introduction
We all know that every Chinese student has spent many years in learning English, but many of them find that they cannot understand the article well after reading. So the teachers are concerned with how to train and improve students’ ability on reading. Traditional way of reading teaching cannot give full play to students’ positive initiative in the reading course. In the traditional way of English reading, the teachers usually neglect the point that lacking of language knowledge, background knowledge and passage structure knowledge, which tends to prevent English learners from reading effectively, yet conversely they always focus on teaching single words, phrases or grammatical points. Schema Theory has an effect on reading. Bartlett proposed the schema theory which stresses the importance of background knowledge and schema for text comprehension. In other words, schema theory explains the role of background knowledge in language comprehension and explains how readers retrieve or construct meaning from their own pre-existing knowledge and past experience.
The relevant research has been paid much attention for a long time. It has been proved that teachers applying Schema Theory in English teaching is an effective way, in which the students can improve their reading ability. The application of schema theory can help students improve their reading ability and make them finish the reading comprehension easily and correctly. To develop students’ reading skills and make them become an expert at reading, it is necessary for teachers to help students build and activate schemata. 图式理论在中学英语阅读中的应用研究:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_10626.html
