Abstract

This essay uses a loose auto-ethnographic approach to suggest ways to use artificial intelligence (AI) in teaching college English writing in the Chinese context. We suggest integration of AI technology into the entire writing process –brainstorming, drafting, and revision– with particular attention to challenges faced in Chinese education. We also explore how AI can assist teachers with innovative instructional planning, student performance analysis, and evaluation, reducing the burden of repetitive work and allowing teachers to focus on cultivating students’ higher-order thinking abilities, thus realizing a new human-machine collaboration teaching paradigm. The next step will be to formally execute these steps in a full research model with control groups. We would particularly welcome researchers from other universities and other cultural contexts to join us in this exploration.
