Abstract

The advent of education informatization not only provides technical support for the development of higher education in China but also offers new opportunities for the reform of foreign language teaching and the advancement of professional development for foreign language teachers. As an important component of foreign language teaching in Chinese higher education, English education for special purpose (ESP) plays an important role in the high-quality development of higher education. Research on the development of ESP teaching staff has made progress in recent years. However, the era of educational informatization poses new challenges to the knowledge structure and abilities of ESP teaching staff, and also presents more complex and contemporary requirements for the development of ESP teaching staff. In order to address these challenges and propose an ESP teaching staff training path that is more in line with the characteristics of educational informatization, in-depth research through surveys and semi-structured interviews was conducted under the guidance of TPACK framework. By analyzing the data, a clearer understanding of the following aspects has been obtained: the current level of TPACK among ESP teachers in Chinese universities, the impact of demographic variables on ESP teachers’ TPACK and the challenges currently faced by ESP teachers.
