However, the teaching mode of English reading course in our college is far from the requirements of application-oriented talent training target. There are some lag phenomena in teaching contents, teaching methods, teaching means, assessment methods and teacher construction[2]. This paper focuses on the use of modern schema theories to realize the reform of English reading course and to cultivate applied talents to contribute their own strength[3].
