A Study on the Pathways for Transforming Practical Instruction in Digital and Intelligent Language Labs

The development of digital and intelligent information technologies has injected new momentum into language labs. This study thoroughly analyzes their profound impact on practical teaching, including their positive roles in language skill development and the innovation of teaching models—such as providing real-person-recorded foreign language materials for listening practice, creating innovative interactive platforms for oral training, and implementing blended online-offline teaching and flipped classroom practices. At the same time, this study highlights the advantages of these technologies, which provide teachers with efficient classroom management tools and students with rich instructional resources. However, challenges such as technological adaptability and shifts in pedagogical philosophy also exist, and corresponding solutions are proposed. The study concludes that digital and intelligent technologies have a profound impact on practical teaching in language laboratories, and their functions and applications should be continuously optimized in the future.
