Ai-min ZOU, Mei-ning WANG, You-mei GAO

Abstract


The repetitive coherence of theme and rheme comes through one of the important cohesive devices which make texture coherent and progressing. From cognitive point of view, applying the mode of thematic and rheme into English language teaching can display its tool function for texture. It also contributes to the understanding and interpretation of coherent discourses, and to the way in teaching reading and writing. Therefore, learners will leap forward from their cognitive level.
Key words: cognition, coherence of theme and rheme, English language teaching
