The traditional English teaching approach has several problems. It includes poor student learning interest and lack of active learning. English teaching courses are set up in colleges and universities for non-English majors. The contradiction between students’ needs for foreign language learning and personal interests is increasing day by day. Traditional single classroom teaching has been unable to meet the basic requirements. With the rapid advancement of Internet technology, computer-aided technology is being proposed and applied in English education to investigate the effectiveness of English instruction. This article goes into detail on the idea, classification structure, and courseware design process of computer-aided technology. It employs the AI teaching approach in English instruction, creates a similarity matrix of English learners, and assesses English learners who exhibit similar behavior. Finally, the students are tested by answering the proportion of 1000 words correctly in English teaching to measure the effect of course learning. The results show that the number of words memorized by students increases after using computer-aided technology. This article analyzes students’ capacity to compose in English and evaluates the efficacy of students’ English teaching. It proclaims that after teachers adopt computer-aided technology, the error rate in English composition is reduced. The total score in English increased from 58.6% to 69.6%.
