important  step  in  developing  students’  overall  language  competence.  However,  it  is  not satisfying  for  students’  English  reading  learning  to  some  degree  now  in  senior  high  school. Therefore,  the  research  is  tries  to  apply  a  new  teaching  method—Cohesion  and  Coherence Theory to English reading teaching. Through applying the Cohesion and Coherence Theory, let students  know  cohesive  devices  and  raise  students’  interest  of  English  reading.  Along  with  the master of cohesive devices and coherence methods, the level of students’ reading comprehension is higher than ever. So the students’ reading achievement is enhanced. The purpose of the research is mainly reflected in the following aspects: firstly, it not only makes the students to master the necessary grammar and abundant vocabularies, but also let the students  learn  how  to  apply  cohesive  devices  in  reading  comprehension  to  make  the  text coherent. Secondly, it can change the teachers’ teaching ideas, pay more attention to the process of  English  reading  teaching  and  put  into  more  time  to  cultivate  the  students’  reading  ability. Thirdly, the research provides a theoretical basis on a practical method to guide students to use the  cohesive  devices  to  achieve  text’s  coherence.  It  is  expected  that  the  research  can  assist English  teachers  to  have  a  good  understanding  on  the  importance  of  Cohesion  and  Coherence Theory.

Chapter Two Literature review 

In  this  chapter,  the  thesis  will  do  a  brief  historical  review  concerning  Cohesion  and Coherence  Theory,  reading  and  the  application  of  Cohesion  and  Coherence  Theory  to  English reading teaching. 

2.1 Cohesion and Coherence theory 
At the beginning  of the research, it is necessary to learn about the fundamental theoretical knowledge  about  Cohesion  and  Coherence  Theory,  which  is  the  definition  of  Cohesion  and Coherence Theory, cohesive devices, the related research on Cohesion and Coherence Theory. Jacobson is the earliest researcher who studies cohesion in 1960. He analyzes the syntactic structures and repetitions on parallel phenomenon in literature. Halliday (1962) is the first person to put forward the cohesion concept. Afterwards, the cohesion concept has been fully formulated by Halliady and Hasan in 1976. Halliday  &  Hasan  (1976)  consider  that  cohesion  is  the  section  of  the  text-forming component in the linguistic system. Beaugrande & Dressler (1981) put forward that the surface text’s components is related to the cohesion ways, i.e. the ac本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
