Research on the Enhancement of Listening Metacognitive Strategies of Non-English Major Vocational Students with the Aid of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Most non-English majors in vocational colleges lack listening and speaking skills. Traditional teaching methods have failed to teach students listening learning strategies and self-directed learning strategies. Artificial intelligence technology has enabled many intelligent learning aids to transform foreign language education. This paper conducts teaching experiments based on metacognitive theory, using AI tools to guide students in planning, monitoring and evaluation. The results show that continuous AI assisted training increases students' awareness of metacognitive strategies in listening, increases their strategic use and improves listening and learning confidence. These results validate the effectiveness of AI-aided tools and provide new insights for reforming English listening instruction in vocational colleges. Future work is needed to study the relationship between AI tools and metacognitive strategy cultivation.
