Abstract Abstract: Traditionally, theories from other research fields are often taken to guide foreign language teacher research. This article argues that the rising of educational linguistics (EL) has provided not only the suitable disciplinary identity for teacher development but also the core status for teacher roles to integrate with certain educational system. The literature review and investigation from the perspective of EL reveals that teachers play the clear roles of both the subjective masters and the research objects. Teacher development system is of great significance, it involves educational system, competence evaluation mechanism and teacher development approaches. The double roles of teachers and the reality-oriented principles of EL make it an urgent need for research on language teacher development to be based on EL and closely dependent on cultural mechanism. Teacher development research should well integrate the factors of beliefs and behaviors, language and education, courses and teachers, subjects and talents.
