Abstract

This chapter aims at pinpointing EFL teachers' knowledge base and its components. First, knowledge and its nature in general and teacher knowledge in particular are discussed. The theoretical frameworks of teacher knowledge base in general and the knowledge base of EFL teachers in particular are defined and elaborated meticulously. This includes the seminal work of Shulman and its three main categories of teacher knowledge—content knowledge, general pedagogical knowledge, and pedagogical content knowledge—and the work of language educationists to define the tripartite model of EFL teacher knowledge base. In the following, the need to re-conceptualize EFL teachers' knowledge base, the importance of investigating EFL teachers' knowledge base in CALL-based teaching/learning environments, and the way teachers should be empowered in technology era are addressed.
