Professional development, Ideological and political education, College English teachers, The core driving force of the teacher professional development.

The goal of China's higher education is to cultivate students' moral characters and enhance their social responsibilities. To realize the target, China has carried out ideological and political education integrated throughout curriculum. College English courses, as an indispensable part of the higher education, also play an important role in achieving this aim. College English teachers are regarded to be the key elements that determine the success or failure of the current teaching attempt. However, faced with these new challenges and demands, college English teachers have obvious problems of insufficient motivation and ability, which will hinder the process of teaching reform. Therefore, to redefine and constantly promote the professional development of college English teachers turns to be urgent. Only by stimulating the core driving force for the professional development of college English teachers and promoting their growth can teachers better cope with the changes and challenges brought about by the new educational situation and make contributions to achieving the educational goal of higher education.
