ABSTRACT

In the context of globalization of education, digital transformation has entered a critical acceleration period. The overall development of digitalization-driven teaching innovation can be divided into three stages: technology, innovation, and transformation. In this process, foreign language teaching has undergone profound changes, showing a series of new characteristics in terms of teaching environment, teaching tools, resource supply, and teaching models. However, the digital transformation of foreign language education in China has not yet fully materialized. Facing the impact of digital technology, it is particularly important for foreign language education to achieve a dynamic balance between technological rationality and humanistic rationality. To accelerate the digital transformation of foreign language teaching, we should focus on systematic promotion and achieve a more open, flexible, and personalized new form of foreign language teaching through the construction of a digital connection that covers the entire process and scenario.
