For teachers’ competence, there is no uniform standard in domestic and foreign academic circles. Foreign scholars think that the personality of the teacher can do the performance of competence while domestic scholars believe that the professional values of the teachers, that is, personal qualities, professional ethics can be competent. The domestic and foreign scholars all agree that: the definition of teachers' competence should include the professional knowledge and professional skills related to the implementation of the successful teaching. Through questionnaire survey and interview, this paper makes a research on English teachers’ conception and language skills---the core competency of middle school English teachers in Shaanxi Province. It is found that there are some disparities of English teachers’ conception and language skills from the requirements of the new curriculum standards. Based on the reason analysis of disparities, the following suggestions are put forward: study the new curriculum standards seriously, strengthen the studies on education and teaching theories, strengthen the guidance on teaching practice and encourage the teachers to reflect on their teaching methods.

There is no platform and mechanism for the integrated construction of curriculum content. This is reflected in the layout of the syllabus, curriculum standards, teaching objectives, and teaching content of universities, middle schools, and primary schools, and the overall arrangement has not yet been formed. Secondly, the content of ideological and political courses is duplicated. Third, there are gaps in the content of ideological and political courses. Finally, the content of ideological and political courses is inverted. Although the content of the ideological and political course as a whole embodies the line of understanding from low to high, from concrete to abstract, the phenomenon of abstract in primary schools and normative and concrete in universities still exists to varying degrees.
