Abstract Self-diagnosis of classroom teaching is a method and skill for teachers to find and summarize experiences by themselves through "evaluation" and "judgment" on elements in their own classroom teaching activities, to analyze existing problems and to put forward measures for improvement. Diagnoses are made from many perspectives including interpersonal relation, learning objective, learning content, learning methods, learning environment, learning feedback, etc. Self-diagnosis of classroom teaching is an essential ability that teachers must possess for their self-examination and self-improvement in the courses of professional development, and it is also teachers’ professional core competence. However, it is the “short board” in teachers’ professional development nowadays. Only by enhancing teachers’ ability of self-diagnosis for classroom teaching, can we effectively improve teachers’ teaching ability, teaching and research capability, self-reflection ability, innovation and learning ability, thereby improving teachers’ professional ability and effectively promoting teachers' professional growth.
