It instructs reading teaching not only theoretically but also practically. Text analysis theory has developed for more than thirty years in China, but fewer teachers are aware of it great influence on reading teaching. By conducting this study, the authors wants more and more languages teachers to know more about text analysis theory. Besides, apply text analysis into reading teaching, the author want to identify it can improve students’text analysis awareness. Though reflection on teaching process and result, the evaluation of teacher’ current t ext reading teaching results, found that there are still problems in reading teaching, thus in order to improve the teaching quality and teachers’ ability to better serve the text reading in senior high school. So as to providebasis and feasible suggestions as well as other work in the high school English teachers to provide important reference material.2. Significance of studyText analysis theory has been widely used in English reading teaching in Universities or colleges, students’ reading comprehension ability has greatly improved. However, in senior high school, these efficient methods are not being widely or appreciately implemented in English reading teaching. There is little research on it. The present research aims to introduce text analysis to English reading teaching practice of senior high school. The author expects this study can provide some useful and practical information in English reading teaching in senior high school. It also hopes to provide some useful suggestions about further research.Ⅲ .Situation of study1 .AbroadIn 1952, a paper American structural linguist Harris, published in the Language journal, in the article he first used the “discourse analysis”. Since then, it has gradually became the specialized terminology of modern linguistics and widely used. Now we think generally, the text analysis is by means of modern linguistic philosophy, cognitive linguistics, semiotics, psychology as well as the basic principles and methods of information theory, it developed gradually from 1960s interdisciplinary subject. Text analysis not a new theory, from1960s until now, it in foreign language teaching has been widely applied. In the mid 1980s, become linguists abroad put forward the idea of text teaching syllabus.In resent years, some scholars and teachers applied text analysis theories to Language teaching. A large number of related text analyzing of textbooks have been published. Cook and Mccarth’s study (1989) on text analysis greatly helps language teachers. Cook (1989) introduced the theory of text analysis to language learning and teaching. Mccarthy (1991) went into the details of how text analysis related to the different Language areas (grammar, vocabulary, phonology) and to spoken andwritten language. Besides, E.Hath’s(1992) discourse and Language education “Discourse and Language Teaching” played an important role in text teaching.The paper mainly aims at helping language teachers learn more about text analysis and become knowledgeable about it. And it also provides reference material for more teachers in high school.2. The domestic research situationUntil1980s, text analysis has gradually developed in the China. Huang Guowen’s book Essentials of Text Analysis(1998) was considered first and easiest work to discuss text analysis taking English as an example, which had great influence on English teaching. In Discourse Cohesion and Coherence (1994), Hu Zhuanglin believed that “Discourse refers to natural language which is in incompletely constrained by sentence grammar with a complete meaning in certain context.”In the mid 1990s, more and more Chinese scholars supplied text analysis into English language teaching, especially English reading teaching. In text linguistics for teachers (1999),Lu Chendan Discussed text in details and pointed out how to teach students text in reading, writing and translation aspect. In The Application of Discourse Analysis in Teaching (2001), Hu ZhuangIin discussed text analysis and its application in English teaching.In recent years, many Chinese scholars in text analysis perspective analyzed the many fields of English, such as listening, reading, writing as well as translation. It is clear that the reading in these studies accounted for a large proportion. Duan Yunli and Kong Xiangyong (2004) published the article The Application of Text Analysis to Reading comprehension of TEM-8, in which the reading comprehension of TEM-8 from the year1995 to 2004 were analyzed with the help of text analysis. And then they found the way to reading comprehension from macro and micro views, which achieved a certain effect in practice. This provides the useful and practical way to college English reading teaching. There are also many scholars analyzing reading comprehension of NMET. For example, Lu Min published Text Analysis and English Reading Teaching (2009). Xia Yuanfen and Liu Shenmin (2001) published TheApplication of Text Analysis in Reading Comprehension of NMET. All of these made a great contribution to language teaching with the help of text analysis.To sum up, text analysis is diverse, and Chinese scholars also believe language exists in text not only sentence. Although a lot of reading materials to do a lot of research, most are for college English reading, the analysis of the high school reading less. Thus, it is necessary to do a research on the application of text analysis theory in English reading teaching of senior high school.Ⅳ.Research questions and difficulty of study⒈ Research questionsThe study of text analysis based on home and abroad, the author wants to prove the theory of text analysis applied to high school English teaching, especially in English reading teaching can greatly improve the students' English reading ability. At the same time by improving their awareness to improve their evaluation and appreciation ability. More specially, it addressed the following questions：(1) How about the current situation of students' text?(2) The text analysis teaching method applied in the teaching of English reading, there will be what kind of effect?2. Difficulty of studyIn this study, there are some Difficulties.(1) It is hard to collect the related material.(2) Research methods are improper.(3) Individual research ability is limited.Ｖ.Method and Procedure of Conduction1. Method of the studyThis study mainly uses two methods of conduction, including literature review and literature analysis methods. That is to say, in the first place, the paper mainly uses comparative research method and descriptive research method to discover and research the significance and purpose of text analysis apply in reading teaching. Second, the paper describes what the forerunner of research study about and some oftheir main ideas about text analysis theory introduce to the reading teaching in senior high school in China and abroad. In the end, the paper describes how to apply text analysis into reading teaching is more effective and come up with some suggestions about future research.2. ProcedureThe first stage: to establish a scientific research route and to investigate in many ways for learning all aspects of the information to start thesis proposal.The second stage: according to the plan to carry out a series survey. such as, reading documentaries, analysis material.The third stage: come up with some specific methods, then summary, make the conclusion.Ⅵ .Schedule of study2014.12.1——2014.1.15, to write and finish the research proposal of graduate thesis.2015.1.16——2015.3.20 to carry out relevant research and finish the first draft of thesis.2015.3.21——2015.4.10 to finish revising the first draft of the thesis and refer the second draft of thesis.2015.4.11——2015.4.25 to finish the second draft of the thesis and refer the third draft of thesis.2015.4.26——2014.5.8 to finish the revision of the draft of the thesis and refer the final of the thesis.Ⅶ .Outline of thesis1.
