Abstract: Identity construction has nowadays aroused great attention in the studies of pragmatics. With the theory of pragmatic identity, this paper discusses the pragmatic identities and discourse construction strategies of the teaching activities of English teachers in college online courses. We find that the pragmatic identities of English teachers vary because of different communicative contexts and needs; the construction of pragmatic identities is realized by the kinds of discourse strategies and therefore the communicative effects are different. Specifically speaking, English teachers in online courses will employ different discourse strategies, such as language style, speech acts, forms of address, and multimodality, to construct these seven pragmatic identities, namely, educators, guides, organizers, participants, evaluators, material collectors, and technicians. All these pragmatic identities and discourse strategies are diversified and dynamic.

Key words: pragmatic identities, discourse strategies, online courses, English teachers
