Abstract

In the context of the "Internet +" era, information technology, like a strong east wind, has quietly penetrated every corner of the campus, promoting the continuous strengthening of campus informatization and giving wings to the development of educational informatization. This change has not only brought unprecedented teaching methods and teaching models to traditional education classrooms but also profoundly affected every corner of the education field. Teachers, as the core subject of teaching activities, have attracted widespread attention from all walks of life, and the issue of teacher identity has become a hot topic continuously discussed in the academic community. In recent years, with the rapid development of information technology, several studies have revealed a thought-provoking phenomenon: the widespread application of information technology has, to some extent, triggered a crisis of identity for teachers, especially middle school English teachers, who are facing unprecedented challenges. Against this background, this paper will focus on the specific manifestations of the identity crisis of middle school English teachers under the background of "Internet +". Through a thorough sorting and analysis of relevant literature, this study presents a series of practical suggestions for alleviating the identity crisis, with the aim of providing valuable references for the professional development of middle school English teachers.
