Construction of AI-empowered foreign language teaching evaluation system guided by Outcome-Based Education (OBE)
AI赋能OBE理念下的外语教学评价体系构建

摘要

大学外语兼具工具性与人文性双重属性，传统纸笔评价模式仅能简单考核词汇、语法等显性语言技能，难以实现跨文化交际、人文思辨、综合职业素养等内隐人文素养的量化评价，评价维度片面、学情数据碎片化，无法支撑教学持续优化。本研究以OBE成果导向教育理念为基础，依托外语专属学科大模型等智慧平台，构建全周期AI赋能外语教学闭环评价体系。研究借助人工智能技术对语言技能、跨文化素养和职业素养进行量化，贯穿课前、课中、课后全学习周期动态采集学情数据，搭建人机协同多元评价机制，严格践行OBE“产出导向、持续改进”的核心原则。研究表明，该评价体系能够同步培育学生语言应用能力、跨文化交际能力与职场综合职业素养，充分落实以学生发展为中心的现代教育理念。

Abstract

College foreign language teaching possesses the dual attributes of instrumentality and humanity. Conventional paper-and-pencil evaluation can only simply examine explicit linguistic skills including vocabulary and grammar, yet it is unable to conduct hierarchical quantification of implicit humanistic literacies such as intercultural communication competence, humanistic critical thinking and comprehensive professional literacy. Characterized by one-sided evaluation dimensions and fragmented learning data, this traditional evaluation mode cannot facilitate the continuous optimization of teaching. Based on the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) philosophy, this study constructs a full-cycle AI-enabled closed-loop evaluation system for foreign language teaching by virtue of discipline-specific large language models for foreign languages and other intelligent platforms. Artificial intelligence technology is adopted in this research to quantify linguistic proficiency, intercultural literacy and professional literacy. Learning data are dynamically collected throughout the whole learning cycle covering pre-class, in-class and after-class sessions, and a human-machine collaborative multi-dimensional evaluation mechanism is established to strictly implement the core tenet of OBE, namely “outcome-oriented and continuous improvement”. The research reveals that the proposed evaluation system can cultivate students’ practical linguistic competence, intercultural communication ability and comprehensive workplace literacy simultaneously, and has fully practices the modern educational philosophy centered on students’ development.
