The Empowerment and Impact of ChatGPT Technology on Foreign Language Education in Colleges and Universities
Open accessAbstract
OpenAI, an American artificial intelligence laboratory, launched ChatGPT, an intelligent chatting tool at the end of late 2022, which has caused great repercussions all over the world. ChatGPT technology has already had an important impact on education in today's world, so what kind of empowerment and impact will it have on the teaching and learning of foreign languages in Chinese colleges and universities? This article combines the author's experience of using ChatGPT, firstly describes the new teacher-student relationship it generates, then discusses how ChatGPT empowers foreign language students and teachers in colleges and universities and summarises several aspects of how ChatGPT can be applied to foreign language students and teachers in colleges and universities. At the end, the article reveals the potential risks, limitations and implications of ChatGPT on foreign language education in colleges and universities in the future and deepens the knowledge and understanding of the utility of artificial intelligence in foreign language education in colleges and universities.

Researchers in HCI have produced studies characterizing user values, social dynamics, and professional contexts that influence ownership preferences and attitudes toward AI assistance.
“Researchers in HCI have worked extensively to investigate these dimensions, producing studies characterizing user values, social dynamics, and professional contexts [9,39,53,63,77,105] that influence ownership preferences and how they shape users' attitudes toward AI assistance.”

Section 2.1 discusses how ChatGPT changes teacher–student dynamics, and the Conclusion discusses teachers’ and students’ roles in using AI for foreign-language education. The paper does not characterize ownership preferences or show how those preferences shape attitudes toward AI assistance; it also does not present itself as an HCI study of those questions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
