Fanyu Jin, Ruyi Pei, Bo Li, Jing Wang

Abstract


The rapid development of artificial intelligence(AI) has brought about significant changes in various fields, including education.
This study aims to explore the implementation of AI-powered teaching assistants (TAs)in English language education and the reconstruction
of teacher roles in the context of AI. Through a comprehensive literature review and analysis, this paper examines the potential benefits and
challenges of integrating AI-powered TAs into English language classrooms, as well as the transformation of teacher roles in terms of peda_x005fgogy, classroom management, and student engagement. The findings suggest that AI-powered TAs can facilitate personalized learning experiences, enhance instructional effectiveness, and promote teacher-student interaction. However, there are also potential drawbacks, such as the
replacement of human interaction and the ethical concerns surrounding data privacy. This study offers insights into how AI-powered TAs can
be utilized to foster innovative teaching practices and promote the development of 21st-century skills among English language learners.
