- Abstract
Through the rapid development of internet communication technology, big data, cloud computing and a series of information technology, the field of education is also undergoing profound changes. The research is based on the theoretical framework of Niess’s TPACK (Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge). It takes five college English teachers in college as the research objects. The study takes a qualitative case study approach adopted semi-structured interviews, reflective journals and observations as qualitative research instruments. The present study shows that the TPACK ability of college English teachers is weak. They generally have problems such as backward professional development concept, unbalanced knowledge structure, low information searching quality, weak professional development motivation, and single professional development path. To improve the TPACK ability of college English teachers, we propose the community of practice to serve as TPACK development strategies for college English teachers.
