Likewise, there are a large number of teachers who undertake English in primary and secondary schools, playing an increasingly important role in national education, and their professional development is of great significance. Sichuan-Chongqing is an important district in southwest China, which is representative of the whole country. A survey of the current situation of English teachers' professional development in this area is helpful in finding out the existing problems in time, putting forward solutions and promoting teachers' professional development. Based on questionnaires and interviews, this paper analyzes the current professional groups, professional development level and professional development awareness. It puts forward some suggestions on pre-service education, on-the-job training and constructing a teachers' learning community to improve and promote the professional development of English teachers in primary and secondary schools in Sichuan and Chongqing. This study can also have some enlightenment for the professional development of English teachers or other subjects in primary and secondary schools in Sichuan and Chongqing as well as other parts of the country.
