Annotation: This study considers the metaphors used in the Russian and Chinese worldviews to characterize the teaching profession. The purpose of the work is the presentation of the diachronic and synchronic analysis of the metaphorical portrait of the teacher, starting with the works of Ya.A. Komenskiy to the present day, as well as the results of an empirical study of the reflective potential of the portrait of a teacher in the process of educating foreign language teachers. The article analyzes the views not only on the positive aspects of the teacher’s activity, but also critically examines his/her possible negative impact on the development of the personality of students. In the empirical part, the emphasis is on the results of a survey of foreign language teachers who have taken refresher courses in this area. The results of the study demonstrate the versatility of the concept of “teacher” in the Russian and Chinese worldviews, as well as the variability of respondents’ opinions regarding the role of the teacher in the modern model of teacher training. The results obtained can be interpreted for further projecting of a program for the professional development of foreign language teachers.
