Abstract:
Limited empirical research on the key competencies of front-line English teachers, particularly primary and middle school English teachers in rural regions, exists in the current literature. This research focuses on front-line instructors and examines their mastery of the key competencies in English language teaching. Through in-depth interviews, this paper examined eight rural junior middle school English teachers on their understanding of developing students\' key competencies in English language teaching, as well as the obstacles and challenges they experienced in curriculum implementation. The study found that although front-line teachers have a positive attitude toward the key competencies, there is still a certain gap between their comprehension of key competencies and policy requirements and practical demands. In order to implement core qualities and effectively promote curriculum reform, we need to strengthen teacher development training for front-line English teachers, especially for primary and secondary school English teachers in rural areas, to improve their understanding and professionalization of the new round of curriculum reform.
摘要:
对一线英语教师关键能力的实证研究有限,特别是农村地区的中小学英语教师,存在于当前的文献中。本研究以一线教师为研究对象,考察他们对英语教学关键能力的掌握程度。通过深入采访,本文考察了八位农村初中英语教师对发展学生英语教学关键能力的理解,以及他们在课程实施中遇到的障碍和挑战。研究发现,尽管一线教师对关键能力持积极态度,他们对关键能力和政策要求的理解与实际要求之间仍然存在一定差距。为了贯彻核心素养,有效推进课程改革,我们需要加强对一线英语教师的教师发展培训,特别是农村地区的中小学英语教师,提高他们对新一轮课程改革的认识和专业化程度。
