ABSTRACT

The emergence of ChatGPT, representing advanced AI technology, has profoundly impacted international Chinese education. It transforms teaching and learning through intelligent content creation, immersive language simulation, and adaptive learning. However, as AI deeply integrates into Chinese language education, it presents unique opportunities and challenges. This paper explores ChatGPT's technology and its applications while addressing potential challenges like content errors, overreliance on technology, privacy, and ethical dilemmas. To optimize ChatGPT's role, we propose strategies including robust data security, enhancing instructors' tech skills, empowering learners, and instituting oversight mechanisms. Our aim is to harmoniously blend technology and pedagogy in international Chinese education.
