Paper Abstract:
|
Currently, new technologies represented by artificial intelligence, Big Data, cloud computing, blockchain, Internet of Things, 5G technology, etc. drive human society to rapidly enter the intelligent era based on digital applications. In this context, digitization has become an important force in generating structural changes in education. As an important subject of educational practice, it is crucial for teachers to conform to the development trend of education in the era of artificial intelligence and improve their own quality. The development of artificial intelligence gives a new concept to the professional development of foreign language teachers in colleges and universities, and at the same time puts forward new challenges and opportunities for it. This paper analyzes the opportunities and challenges of teacher's professional development in the era of artificial intelligence from the structural change of foreign language education caused by artificial intelligence technology, based in a review of papers on the topic. It also studies and explores the ways of professional development of foreign language teachers in colleges and universities: they must update their concepts of education and teaching, improve their professionalism, and promote their professional development through training, school-based research, and reflective teaching. |
