It makes a case analysis of the practice of Business English teacher development in China by taking Guangdong University of Foreign Studies (GDUFS) as an example, which mainly reflects into the types of teachers teaching Business English courses, the expectations of learners for Business English teachers, and the ways of Business English teacher development, etc. It summarizes the triple types of Business English teachers and the five approaches of Business English teacher development. On this basis, it proposes some implications for the trend of growing professionalism of Business English teachers.
