Abstract

English for Academic Purposes (EAP) is believed to be the trend of college English teaching reform and development; therefore it is necessary for English teachers to shift from English for General Purposes (EGP) to EAP. The success of the shift lies in the development of teachers' competence. Based on the competency framework proposed by BALEAP for EAP teachers, the paper discusses the competence that English teachers need to acquire in order to be qualified for EAP teaching and the strategies for teachers' professional development. The aim is to provide reference for English teachers' shift from EGP to EAP
