Abstract:

In recent years, the continued development of artificial intelligence technology has promoted progress in the field of education. Ever since the birth of ChatGPT, its powerful text-understanding-and-generation functions have aroused widespread attention and discussion in the field of foreign language education. Based on the everyday practice of teaching Chinese as a foreign language, this study explores the application of ChatGPT in classroom teaching and in teaching resource construction. In the context of classroom teaching, how ChatGPT assists in language teaching, cultural teaching, and exam tutoring is discussed. Following this, this paper analyzes how ChatGPT can be applied in developing six types of teaching resources: teaching materials and auxiliary materials, multimedia teaching resources, network teaching resources, teaching software, applications and websites, learning platforms and management systems, and other teaching resources. ChatGPT can be used as a powerful foreign language teaching tool to assist teachers in resource construction and classroom teaching as well as to promote students’ foreign language learning. However, ChatGPT is limited in terms of professional knowledge, resource searching, and in other regards for which it sometimes fails to meet user needs well. Therefore, to better guide the application of ChatGPT, the function and role of ChatGPT in foreign language teaching should be objectively discerned and the possible problems identified.

摘要:

近年来,人工智能技术持续发展,推动了教育领域的不断进步。ChatGPT诞生后更是以强大的文本理解和生成功能引发了外语教学领域的广泛关注和讨论。本研究基于汉语作为外语教学的具体实践,探索了ChatGPT在语言教学、文化教学和考试辅导3个课堂教学辅助领域以及6类教学资源——教材与教辅材料、多媒体教学资源、网络教学资源、教学软件与应用程序和网站、学习平台和管理系统、其他教学资源——建设方面的应用。研究发现,ChatGPT可以辅助教学资源建设,帮助教师开展课堂教学,促进学生的外语学习,是十分有效的外语教学工具。然而,ChatGPT在专业知识储备和资源搜索等方面仍存在一定问题,有时不能很好地满足用户需求。因此,我们要客观看待ChatGPT在外语教学中的功能与作用,在具体教学实践中对ChatGPT的反馈加以鉴别,合理使用。
