The present study examines the correlation between knowledge of basic language constructs and its components,and self-perceived teaching abilities among Chinese EFL teachers by aquestionnaire survey.The results of quantitative analyses,including reliability analysis,a series of confirmatory factor analyses(CFA),and structural equation modeling(SEM),indicate that English teachers have the highest self-perceived ability to teach vocabulary and they are able to display implicit skills related to certain basic language constructs.However,they are less able to demonstrate explicit knowledge.Four basic language constructs(i.e.phonemic awareness,morphological awareness,syllable counting,and phonics)are identified.Among them,morphological knowledge is positively correlated with teachersself-perceived teaching abilities,and it contributes unique variance even when the effects of education and years of teaching are ruled out.
