Abstract

83 primary school English teachers of Korean nationality were selected as the research samples in this study, and the professional identity characteristics of Korean primary school English teachers with different teaching age were studied comprehensively and deeply by means of questionnaire survey and interview. The results showed in the following aspects: firstly, teachers with different teaching age have different levels of professional identity and teachers with 6–10 years’ working experience have the highest level of professional identity, while those have worked for more than 16 years have the lowest level of professional identity; secondly, compared the teachers who have worked for 0–5 years with those who have worked for 6–10 years, the latter’s identification level is higher than the former and there are significant differences on the overall level of professional identity, professional emotional identity, professional will identity and professional social status identity; thirdly, there are significant differences on the overall level of professional identity, professional value identity and professional will identity between the teachers who have worked for 6–10 years and teachers who have worked for 11–15 years, and the former’s identification level is higher than the latter; fourthly, there are significant differences on the overall level of professional identity, professional value identity, professional emotional identity, professional will identity and professional social status identity between the teachers who have worked for 6–10 years and teachers who have worked more than 16 years, and the former’s identification level is higher than the latter; fifthly, there is no significant difference on the overall level of professional identity and each dimension of professional identity between teachers who have worked for 0–5 years and those who have worked for 11–15 years. And there is the same result between teachers who have worked for 0–5 years and those who have worked for more than 16 years, and between teachers who have worked for 11–15 years and those who have worked for more than 16 years.
