Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings revolution to teaching practices at various areas, including higher education. Personalized learning system based on AI has the potential to meet the diversified needs for learners, improve learning effectiveness, and promote autonomous learning in higher education English teaching. This paper studies applications of AI-based technologies in University-level English language education, including important potentials and concerns. Through cases based on empirical researches, algorithm designs and teaching scenarios from Chinese universities, the contribution of the paper is to put forward the teaching, technological and ethical concerns on offering personalized teaching on the basis of AI technologies in Chinese context. It thus ends by presenting selective suggestions for succeeding AI application in post-secondary English education while sustaining humane and communication-oriented learning values.
