We propose a modified mode-expansion of the bulk fields in a BPS domain wall background to obtain the effective theory on the wall. The broken SUSY is nonlinearly realized on each mode defined by our mode-expansion. Our work clarifies a relation between two different approaches to derive the effective theory on a BPS wall, i.e. the nonlinear realization approach and the modeexpansion approach. We also discuss a further modification that respects the Lorentz and U (1) R symmetries broken by the wall. ¶
