Abstract

The study of English teacher identity has become one of the hot topics in the field of language teacher education. This study reviews the research on the pre-service English teacher's identity at home and abroad, and discusses the current research situation around the definition of teacher's identity, the characteristics of pre-service English teacher's identity, and the factors that affect the construction of pre-service English teacher's professional identity. The study found that the domestic research on pre-service English teachers is still in its infancy, and the subsequent research should use the multi-source data collection method, carry out more qualitative research, and carry out a large-span tracking research in time when conditions permit, pay more attention to the change and development of pre-service English teachers' identity, at the same time, pay attention to pre-service English teachers' learning in practice schools, and put forward suggestions for the construction of pre-service English teachers' identity, It is expected to provide help for the relevant research of pre-service English teachers in China.
