摘　　要：本文认为人工智能应继承教育优良传统,促进教育体系变革,而非导致颠覆性革命。文章首先探讨了技术变革的特点,指出每次工业革命都对经济和社会结构产生了深远影响,但这种影响在教育领域更多是促进了以人为本的发展,而非突破性的革命变化。教育具有延续性、稳定性和继承性,轻率的“教育革命”可能带来灾难性后果。外语教育属于教育范畴,同样应该逐步改革,稳中求进。本文进一步分析了人工智能在外语教育中的应用可能面临的独特挑战,包括异化外语学习的本质属性和忽视文化多样性。最后,本文呼吁外语教育工作者积极拥抱人工智能技术,将其有机融入现有教育体系,产出优质成果,推动外语教育迈上改革的新高度,而不是盲目跟风,空喊“革命”口号,把外语教育发展引向错误方向。This paper argues that AI should promote the transformation of the educational system based on the inheritance of educational traditions,rather than causing a disruptive revolution.The characteristics of technological change are discussed first,revealing that each industrial revolution has had a profound impact on the economy and social structure.In the field of education,however,this impact has more often promoted human-centered development rather than revolutionary changes.As education is characterized by continuity,stability and inheritance,a hasty“educational revolution”could lead to disastrous consequences.The development of foreign language education should thus follow the principle of gradual reform and steady progress.The unique challenges that AI faces in foreign language education are then analyzed,including the alienation of the essential nature of language learning and the neglect of cultural diversity.Finally,this paper calls on foreign language educators to actively embrace AI technology,integrating it organically into the existing educational system to produce high-quality outcomes and elevate foreign language education to new heights of reform.It is crucial to avoid rashly following trends and shouting“revolution”slogans,which could lead the development of foreign language education in the wrong direction.
