The Application of Thematic Progression Mode in English Discourse Teaching

Siyi Chen

Abstract


The thematic progression mode is a framework for the content of a text and is also constrained by the genre of the text. English reading is an important part of high school English teaching. Traditional English reading teaching focuses on the language knowledge, mostly using the text translation method as the teaching means, and the whole teaching process mostly sticks to the stereotypes of staying in the analysis of individual words and sentences, which leads to the students neglecting the importance of the text as a whole in the process of reading. To address this problem, this paper tries to discuss the guiding significance of the thematic progression mode in text interpretation and reading teaching practice based on the theme-rheme theory.
