Research on the Challenges and Pathways to Improve the Effectiveness of High School English Teaching in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

In the era of artificial intelligence, curriculum standards are constantly changing, and higher requirements are placed on students. Due to the constant availability of time, classroom efficiency must be significantly improved. How to improve classroom efficiency and help students achieve higher abilities within a limited time has become a core issue in the education industry. This study aims to explore the challenges in high school English teaching based on the complexity of the English knowledge system, as well as how current artificial intelligence technology can maximize its auxiliary functions. This article mainly analyzes the challenges and path research of improving the effectiveness of high school English teaching under the background of artificial intelligence. It mentions three challenges: low-level motivation of students, low-level work motivation of teachers, and imbalanced use of artificial intelligence, and proposes corresponding solutions, such as using artificial intelligence to provide personalized feedback, using AI-assisted teaching to help teachers enrich teaching forms and reduce burden, and strengthening cross-cultural communication between AI and English, striving to develop more functions of AI that can be used for English teaching.
