Artificial Intelligence Empowering Online Teaching of Chinese as a Foreign Language: Opportunities, Challenges, and Future Prospects

Abstract

This study explores the application, opportunities, challenges, and future development directions of artificial intelligence (AI) in the online teaching of Chinese as a foreign language. AI offers intelligent and personalized teaching methods, enhancing teaching efficiency and optimizing resource allocation. However, its application faces challenges such as technical limitations, teaching ethics, and privacy. The online teaching of Chinese as a foreign language has emerged in the context of globalization. Despite its development, it is constrained by issues like unstable networks. Existing teaching platforms have their own characteristics and deficiencies, and AI has varying application effects in different teaching links. The acceptance of AI by teachers and students is influenced by multiple factors. In the future, AI technology is expected to make continuous breakthroughs, and Chinese as a foreign language education will exhibit new forms such as diversified teaching content, personalized teaching methods, and intelligent teaching models. The government, educational institutions, etc. should jointly promote its development.
