minority English teachers, teachers’ professional development attitudeAbstract
A total of 180 minority English teachers of different ages in middle schools are involved as quantitative research participants in this study. SPSS is applied to analyze the status quo and differences of their professional development attitude among different ages. The results show that they have the strong positive attitude toward their professional development, but teachers of different ages have significant differences in the dimensions of Professional Teaching Knowledge, Flexible Task Goals Consciousness as well as Rigid Task Target Consciousness.
