Abstract
Contemporary college English teaching balances the instrumental and humanistic nature of language, undertaking the mission of cultural education and international communication. Fostering students' cultural narrative competence to tell Chinese stories in English has become a key direction for curriculum reform. In current cultural narrative practices, college students commonly struggle with stiff expressions, superficial cultural interpretations and inadequate adaptation to cross-cultural contexts. Restricted by large-class teaching and limited class hours, conventional classrooms can hardly deliver regular and personalized narrative training. The application of artificial intelligence offers feasible solutions to such teaching bottlenecks. Based on real college English teaching practices, this paper sorts out existing challenges in cultural narrative instruction, analyzes the strengths of AI-integrated teaching, explores classroom implementation pathways under human-AI collaboration, and constructs a multi-dimensional formative assessment framework. It aims to improve students' cross-cultural narrative literacy and fulfill the moral education goals of college English courses.
