Abstract

Under the backdrop of educational digital transformation, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology offers a new pathway for the reform and innovation of spoken English teaching for undergraduate students in ethnic colleges and universities. This teaching faces unique challenges such as significant disparities in students’ language proficiency, a lack of authentic language practice scenarios, and insufficient cultivation of cross-cultural communication skills. Based on constructivist learning theory and the theory of multiple intelligences, and considering the characteristics of ethnic colleges and universities and their students, this paper explores the application value and practical approaches of AI technology in spoken English teaching for undergraduates in these institutions. By analyzing the functional advantages of AI-powered spoken English teaching platforms, a teaching model integrating “technology empowerment + cultural immersion + personalized guidance” is designed. A practical teaching study is conducted using a specific ethnic college as a case study to verify the effectiveness of this model in enhancing students’ English oral expression ability, cross-cultural communication literacy, and learning initiative. Finally, optimization strategies are proposed to address issues encountered during practice, such as technology adaptability, teaching resource development, and improvement of teacher competency, providing theoretical reference and practical insights for the deep integration of AI technology with undergraduate spoken English teaching in ethnic colleges and universities.
