Abstract

The study of teachers’ practical knowledge, which arose in the 1980s, pays close attention to teachers’ teaching practice and life experience. Practical knowledge is defined as the teacher’s understanding of education and teaching through his/her own actions based on the reflection of his/her own teaching experience. The practical characteristics of education require teachers not only to possess certain theoretical knowledge, but also to possess necessary practical knowledge. Based on the author’s learning and teaching experience, this paper first analyzes the essence of teachers’ practical knowledge, and then puts forward the ways of application of practical knowledge in English teaching in private colleges in China.
