Advancing Educational Equality: Using AI Technology in K-12 English Language Education in Rural China

Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies provides the opportunity for students from disadvantaged areas to have equal access to educational resources. This paper applies the theory of educational equality to examine AI technology as an alternative to the current ICT practices for the improvement of English language education in rural China. A systematic review was conducted to analyze the research on AI in English language education published between 2017 and 2022. The overall findings show that the use of AI technology can effectively promote English proficiency. Lastly, the paper also establishes pedagogical implications and suggestions for future study.
