Abstract:

Research on the professional development of a specific group of junior high school English teachers is still in its infancy in China. At the same time, there is a lot of room for exploration in the research of teachers' professional development from the perspective of personal practical knowledge. Therefore, from the perspective of teachers' personal practical knowledge, this article adopts narrative research methods to analyze the personal practice of a junior high school English teacher at different stages of teacher professional development so as to explore the influencing factors and effective ways of junior high school English teacher professional development. This research mainly focuses on two aspects: Based on the teachers' personal practical knowledge, what are the factors that affect the professional development of junior high school English teachers at different development stages? What are the characteristics of different stages? And what are the effective approaches? This research will help junior high school English teachers to further realize the importance of their own personal practical knowledge so as to fundamentally promote their own professional development.
