Abstract

In the era of educational intelligentization, inheriting the excellent traditional Chinese culture has become an important mission in China’s higher education. The purpose of this research is to study how to inherit the excellent traditional Chinese culture with the empowerment of AI in the field of university foreign language education. The literature research method is adopted to find wide support for the present study by reviewing the existing research in foreign language education, culture, and AI. This article points out the connotation and distinctive characteristics of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, analyzes its contemporary significance, and finds out pathways of leveraging AI to inherit the culture, including reshaping the educational goal of foreign language education, creating AI-empowered bilingual courses on the culture, innovating teaching methods, reforming the evaluation mechanism, and building a high-quality team of culture teachers. These pathways can comprehensively nurture the “foreign language+culture+AI” type of culture inheritors needed by the new era.
