Abstract
The knowledge structure of college foreign language (CFL) teachers is crucial for their teaching & research and professional development. In this paper, the Multiple Intelligence Theory (MI Theory) by Gardner is brought into the category of Foreign Language (FL) teachers’ knowledge structure; Accordingly, characteristics of FL teachers’ MI knowledge structure are revealed; from the perspective of objectivity and subjectivity of knowledge existence, FL teachers’ knowledge structure can be divided into two parts: the interior one and the exterior one; and at length, based on MI theory, suggestions on how to optimize FL teachers’ knowledge structure are proposed from two aspects: interior knowledge construction and exterior knowledge construction.
