The Growth of English Teachers in Secondary Vocational Schools

Abstract

The team of English teachers in secondary vocational schools is the key to school construction. Nurturing high-quality and high-level teaching teams is far from being easy as one may think. Teachers themselves should actively explore and practice, learn advanced educational ideas and methods, as well as broaden their narrow perspectives by reading. Sukhomlinsky’s “Suggestions for Teachers” is a noteworthy reference. In secondary vocational schools, many English teachers are unquestionably proficient in terms of professional knowledge, but they fall short in terms of practical teaching, which simply goes against the adage that “practice is the sole criterion for testing truth” [1].
