Abstract

For second language learners, foreign teachers play a significant role in the English language teaching (ELT) classes and English activities in China. The roles of foreign teachers are divided into four categories according to the author’s observation of various classes given by foreign teachers as follows: the trigger, the supplier of an immersive environment, the presenter of educational thinking of the targeted language and the catalyst of the culture of the targeted language. At the same time, this paper also proposes two suggestions for foreign teachers based on realities, and aims to describe a perfect image of the foreign teacher.
