In the reform of college English teaching,which is geared to English for Academic Purposes(EAP),teachers not only need to acquire core knowledge such as Pedagogical Content Knowledge(PCK),but also need to enhance their self-cognition(teachers'self-knowledge).Based on in-depth interviews with EAP teachers and experts,this paper studies the types and representations of EAP teachers'self-knowledge,including their cognition of their own needs,interests,and abilities,and holds that EAP teachers should have a clear understanding of their own needs,interests,and abilities so as to develop their strengths and avoid weaknesses in teaching and generate momentum for developing their knowledge,teaching ability,and identity.
