Research on Cross-Cultural Critical Thinking Teaching in Applied Undergraduate English Courses from the Perspective of Artificial Intelligence
Journal: Journal of Higher Education Research DOI: 10.32629/jher.v6i4.4312
Abstract
This paper explores innovative methods for teaching cross-cultural critical thinking in applied undergraduate English courses supported by artificial intelligence (AI) technology. First, it analyzes the current application of AI technology in English teaching and its potential in cross-cultural critical thinking instruction. Next, it explains the theoretical foundations of cross-cultural communication skills and critical thinking abilities, and proposes teaching design and implementation strategies that incorporate AI technology. Finally, by examining specific teaching practice cases, it assesses the effectiveness and issues of AI technology in cross-cultural critical thinking teaching. The study shows that AI technology can provide diversified learning resources and personalized learning paths, effectively enhancing students' cross-cultural communication skills and critical thinking abilities.
