Abstract

The advent of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) and the prominence of core literacy in senior high school have jointly promoted innovative transformations in teaching. This paper employs literature review methodology to first examine current problems in senior high school English reading class, subsequently proposing GAI’ s integrative advantages. Then further identifies implementation challenges and corresponding countermeasures. It is found that traditional English reading class has problems of single reading resources, lacking thinking training and one- sided reading evaluation system, while GAI can enrich reading materials, promote critical thinking, and achieve diversified evaluation. However, there are problems of lacking emotional interaction, teachers’ technical dependence and difficulties in changing teaching concepts. Therefore, this paper proposes a teacher-led, GAI-assisted emotional interaction mechanism, teacher-student-AI triadic collaboration, and progressive conceptual iteration strategies. The paper shows that the deep integration of GAI and English reading teaching needs to balance technological empowerment and traditional educational values.
