Against the background of the call for the transition from English for general purpose (EGP) to English for academic purpose (EAP) by Shanghai Education Commission since 2013,the Naval Medical University has launched a series of courses of medical English for general academic purpose (EGAP) for the 1st-year and 2nd-year students,with reading course at its core.Due to their deficiency of medical knowledge and ignorance of EAP,students find it difficult to understand EAP articles in medical contexts.Therefore,in order to improve medical students' reading proficiency for medical EAP articles,we applied schema theory to teaching practice,and tried to activate,enrich,and consolidate their schema through form schema and content schema,and achieved considerable positive effects of teaching.
