Abstract

For a long time, EFL teaching in secondary vocational schools has been in a periphery position, causing the lower quality of teaching. Nowadays, with the rapid development of vocational education in China, it is a key requirement to reconstruct EFL teachers' professional spirit with the emphasis on their professional identities. Starting from an ecological perspective, this paper analyzes the reconstruction of EFL teachers' professional spirit, social and professional status in vocational context, and provides some suggestions for their professional development.
