Abstract

The English curriculum standards for compulsory education emphasize the integration of information technology and English teaching, and expand the channels for students to learn and use English through changes in teaching methods. In the era of artificial intelligence, effectively leveraging artificial intelligence technology to improve the quality of English teaching has become a focus of attention. This study adopts the methods of interview and case study to explore the practice and innovative strategies of AI application in primary school English teaching, using the platform of “Youxuepai” as an example. The objective is to explore the practice of intelligent tutoring tools in primary school English teaching, to achieve changes in the way of teaching and learning, and to provide empirical evidence for the future application and development of educational technology. In particular, it provides useful references in the areas of resource screening, learning situation diagnosis, interactive classroom, multimodal input method and personalised learning path. Pre-learning with multimodal input is carried out by precisely pushing resources before class, optimising the teaching process by using contextual teaching strategies and personalised learning strategies during class, and designing personalised consolidation exercises after class to achieve precise teaching.
