摘要

Abstract

Motivations are essential contributing factors in teachers' identity formation. Meanwhile

teachers' identity formation is closely associated with specific educational circumstances. With the procession of the double-reduction educational reform in China last year

many English language teachers are trapped in pessimistic motivations because of the disproportionate attention to students and stricter requirements for effective teaching. Therefore

the main objective of the proposed research is to investigate the interplay between optimistic motivations and identity formation for teachers who teach English as a foreign language (EFL) in the context of the latest educational reform in China

helping English teachers attain high lesson quality and arresting authorities and educators' concerns for protecting teachers' right.
