Abstract

English language education is undergoing a transformative shift, propelled by advancements in technology. This research explores the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) and interactive learning environments in the context of English language education, with a focus on developing a personalized oral assessment method. The proposed method leverages Generative AI's language generation capabilities within an interactive learning space to create a dynamic, adaptive learning environment. The study addresses historical challenges in traditional teaching methodologies, emphasizing the need for AI-driven approaches. The research objectives encompass a comprehensive exploration of the historical context, challenges, and existing technological interventions in English language education. A novel, technology-driven oral assessment method is designed, implemented, and rigorously evaluated using datasets such as Librispeech and L2Arctic. The ablation study investigates the impact of training dataset proportions and model learning rates on the method's performance. Results from the study highlight the importance of maintaining a balance in dataset proportions, selecting an optimal learning rate, and considering model depth to achieve optimal performance.
