Through the investigation and research of 130 university English language teachers' knowledge of China's English language education history, it is found that in the study most university English teachers are deficient in the knowledge of China's English language education History. Specifically, 1) there is a lack of understanding of English language education during the periods of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China; 2) there is a shortage of mastery of the development history of English language education in China from decline to prosperity since 1949; 3) most university English language teachers fail to grasp the important historical figures and educational ideas related to China's English language education; and 4) it is no deeper perception of the development and application of English language education technology in China. In view of these, this study explores the causes of the problem from three levels of teachers themselves, school education and teaching reform and education authorities, and puts forward countermeasures and suggestions from three perspectives of education authorities, schools and teachers themselves in order to improve university English language teachers' knowledge of China's English language education history.
