Empowerment of College English Task —— Based Teaching by Means of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AIGC ): A Case Study
Abstract
Generative Artificial Intelligence (AIGC) is a recent technological development useful for reforming college English teaching. With
task-based language teaching (TBLT) as its foundation, the present paper considers both theoretical possibilities and real applications of AIGC
in connection with college English task-based classes—— four such cases are analyzed. The four tasks dealt with are: information matching,
data analysis, strategic interaction, and experiential inquiry. AIGC is applied—— respectively—— as an aid to lesson planning, to visualization, to information search, and to strategic thinking in all of these cases. From the findings it is evident that AIGC offers several types of
intervention and achieves variable effectiveness with regard to particular tasks. What is clearly established here is that teaching based on tasks
(with help from AIGC) may be highly beneficial for English application competence and is worth considering in connection with reforms of
college English under professional accreditation.
