基　　金：This paper is funded by the 13^th Five-Year Education Planning Project in Hunan Province,China:“Cultivating college students'academic literacy based on the micro-class of academic writing”,the project number is XJK17BGD087.

摘　　要：Since Halliday’s expounding on Theme,this concept has aroused certain research attention,both theoretical and empirical.Its connotations and functions have been elaborated and Theme choice has been compared across genres,disciplines and writers of different English proficiency levels.However,the limited data in existing studies led to some conflicting conclusions and inadequate interpretation of Theme use.A thorough understanding of Theme in academic writing is therefore expected before it could be incorporated successfully into writing instruction.
