ABSTRACT

As an important aspect of the inner world of teachers, the study of professional identity is attracting more and more attention from researchers at home and abroad. Through a questionnaire survey based on CETPII (College English Teachers’ Professional Identity Inventory), the paper analyzes the college EFL teacher professional identity. The findings show that college EFL teachers in China have high professional identity, but the four factors constituting professional identity are scored differently. Occupational behavior tendency ranks the highest. Also, there are significant differences among teachers of different ages and teaching years.
