ABSTRACT

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational settings has opened new avenues for enhancing language learning. This paper explores the utilization of AI-generated stories as a pedagogical tool to improve critical thinking, English reading comprehension, and writing skills among Chinese vocational college students. By analyzing current literature and presenting practical applications, the study highlights the benefits and challenges associated with this innovative approach. The findings suggest that AI-generated content can serve as a valuable resource in language education, provided it is implemented thoughtfully and ethically.
