The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on College Students’ Learning Strategies, Information Literacy and English Proficiency: A Study in China | Chapter 12 | Crisis, AI and the Future of Higher Education

 

This empirical study examines the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on college students’ English language learning, focusing on the interactions between learning strategies, information literacy and English proficiency. This study collected survey data from 256 college students in Jiangsu Province, China. It used structural equation modelling to examine the direct and indirect effects of learning strategies on English proficiency. The study pinpoints the AI tools frequently utilised by students to facilitate English learning, such as Baidu Translate, Youdao Dictionary, Baicizhan, Shanbay, Bubei, Maimemo, ChatGPT, Liulishuo, Itest, BBC Learning English, Zhixue, Qtyy, Hellotalk, and Callannie, and explores how these tools are incorporated into the students’ learning process. The results of the study show that AI greatly improves students’ English proficiency by improving learning strategies and information literacy. By leveraging AI technologies and optimising learning methods, educational stakeholders can create more effective and inclusive learning environments. This study provides educators and curriculum designers with some insights and practical guidance on how to integrate AI into language learning programs to improve students’ English performance.
