However， in this case the students find themselves difficult to adapt to the teaching model transition， resulting in a larger obstacles of English teaching. In EAP teaching， we do need to present specialized vocabulary and terms， grammatical rules， and rhetorical skills to students. What we need more are strengthening students quality education and promoting their communicative competence. In the actual process of carrying out EAP teaching， English teachers must carry on accurate localization to keep the English teaching quality effectively.

2. The Teachers' Development of EAP

Various colleges and universities in China attach great importance to the development of EAP teaching； however， there are still many problems in establishment of EAP teaching system. Therefore， effective measures should be taken to improve the current situation.

2.1 Awareness and attitudes

The essence of EAP teaching is language teaching class and it is the sub-disciplines of the teaching system， which basically deals with linguistic knowledge and skills. EAP teachers should improve the quality of teachers themselves and complement their knowledge structure positively， so as to keep the English teaching quality effectively. The students has proved beyond all doubt that they probably master the disciplinary knowledge well than the teachers， and therefore， the latter should change their restrained attitudes to cherish students questions and interruptions， communicate with students actively， maximize the distance between the teachers and the students， and establish equal and harmonious teacher-student relationship so as to achieve the win-win goal.

2.2 Stimulate the academic teachers motivation of self-development

As we all know， the EAP teaching is still in constantly developing. However， at the present stage， what is still missing is the ripe teaching methods which can provide reference to the EAP teachers. Therefore， EAP teachers need to change their own teaching philosophy and teaching pattern. The teachers should strengthen the links between English teaching and specialized courses and improve the all round development of college students， not pursuing the teaching process blindly. In order to comprehensively stimulate the motivation of self-development， the teachers themselves have to love the EAP teaching.

2.3 The colleges and universities putting forward support to the teachers development

The colleges and universities should strongly support the teachers development for the reason that the EAP teachers development has a direct impact on the effectiveness of teaching. Specifically， the colleges and universities can encourage the academic teachers to participate in teacher-training courses and give a certain allowance for the teacher's training fee. Moreover， a variety of other actions， such as， organizing the teachers to take part in post-training，carrying out EAP teaching exchange activities and holding various forms of visiting and criticizing classes， can be taken to improve the EAP teaching effect.

Epilogue： The EAP teachers development has a direct impact on the effectiveness of teaching. Therefore the teachers should put more emphasis on self-consciousness， introspectiveness and self-renewal and make great efforts to search for their own disadvantages. Through the joint efforts of the colleges and the English teachers， the EAP teachers will definitely obtain good development ability or quality， and then guarantee the effectiveness of teaching， laying down a good foundation for the students overall and life-time development.
