Reflections on the Information Literacy of English Teachers in the Context of China’s Education Informatization 2.0

Abstract

The promulgation of "Education Informatization 2.0 Action Plan" marks that China's education informatization has entered a new historical development stage. The context, mode, content of English language teaching in Chinese middle schools are faced with radical changes, too. English teachers themselves should reshape their educational ideas and professional roles, and integrate information technology into English language teaching. They sever as constructors of teaching knowledge system, constructors of teaching information environment, integrators of teaching information resources, and guides of students' personalized learning. The external forces such as schools, education authorities and the government should cultivate English teachers' information literacy from different perspectives.
