This paper delves into an in-depth analysis of classroom discourse in college-level English writing courses,exploring the application of semantic wave theory in enhancing the effectiveness of classroom discourse by English teachers in higher education.The study found that the effective use of semantic wave strategies by teachers not only deepens students'understanding of abstract concepts but also fosters their cognitive development.However,certain issues were identified in teaching practices,including inconsistencies in students'comprehension and a lack of clarity in instruction.
