Advantages and Challenges of Generative Artificial Intelligence Empowered Oral English Teaching

With the rapid development of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) technology, its application in the field of education has brought innovative opportunities for oral English teaching. This paper systematically analyzes the core advantages of Generative AI in enhancing the effectiveness of oral English teaching from the dimensions of personalized teaching, situational creation, feedback mechanisms, resource expansion, and stimulation of learners’ motivation. It also designs a basic “human-AI collaboration” teaching process covering pre-class, in-class, and post-class stages. Meanwhile, the paper discusses the problems and challenges existing in the application of Generative AI in oral English teaching, thereby providing further insights and reflections for the research on Generative AI empowered oral English teaching.
