Abstract

With the advent of the intelligent era, the deep integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and higher education teaching has become an inevitable path for educational reform. Oral English teaching is an important component of college English teaching and a key approach to cultivating and enhancing students’ competence of language expression, comprehensive application, and intercultural communication. At present, oral English teaching at college generally encounters difficulties such as insufficient practice scenarios, lack of personalized guidance, and delayed feedback. Relying on AI technologies like speech recognition, natural language processing, and adaptive learning to assist oral English teaching can significantly improve learning effectiveness. This paper systematically introduces the core technological application scenarios, main tools, and practical models of AI-assisted oral English teaching, summarizes existing shortcomings, and conducts teaching reflections, with the aim of offering preliminary insights and providing references for advancing intelligent oral English teaching at college.
