Abstract
This research paper provides a comprehensive examination of the significant impact of big data analytics and generative artificial intelligence (GAI) on the field of English language education. Utilizing a meticulous framework rooted in the evolutionary network influence of big data, our study critically analyzes several aspects of student engagement, learning motivation, self-efficacy, and the existing disparities among learners. Our primary objective is to enhance students’ active participation, intrinsic interest, and self-confidence in the context of English language learning, thus advancing their overall linguistic competence. To achieve these objectives, our study systematically integrates the concept of practice education with a multidisciplinary approach, leveraging the power of big data analysis and GAI, and reveals profound insights into student learning behaviors, preferences, and personalized educational needs. We employ advanced techniques for meticulous data processing and interpretation, empowering educators to make data-informed decisions and tailor pedagogical strategies to meet the unique requirements of each student. This data-driven pedagogical approach not only facilitates the implementation of effective teaching methodologies but also effectively addresses the disparities stemming from diverse student backgrounds, thereby fostering a more inclusive and personalized learning environment.
