ABSTRACT

Reading is an important channel for students to acquire knowledge and information. Therefore, exploring an effective reading instructional model to improve students’ reading ability is one of the main goals of today’s university English teaching. The model of English reading instruction based on the theory of systemic functional linguistics is designed to study how teachers can apply this theory to the teaching of reading in order to improve students’ reading comprehension.

KEYWORDS
