This paper explores three English department teachers’agency of classroom instruction amidst the curriculum reform.Through a series of data collection methods,i.e.semi-structured interviews,classroom observation and journal entries,the research reveals that:1)the participants have demonstrated their proactive agency beliefs regarding classroom teaching;they have exercised their agency practice in transforming their pedagogical beliefs into teaching implementations;they have applied their agency inclination to mediate between their beliefs and practices.2)their exercise of agency is closely intertwined with internal factors as their personal knowledge,experiences and personalities,as well as external factors as the classroom environment,institutional culture and sociocultural factors.This study provides suggestions for the disciplinary repositioning and sustainable development of the English major in the New Era.
