Abstract

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) provides brand-new technical support and a broader resource platform for college oral English teaching and evaluation. The advancement of science, technology, and networks has resulted in significant educational changes. Because of these, the demand for English instruction is rising quickly, along with the level of cultural integration. However, due to the limits of conventional teaching techniques and the slow expansion of information technology, oral English classes have been discarded and discontinued for a long time. Based on the preceding, this paper first addresses the shortcomings of traditional college-level spoken English instruction by exposing content and timing deficiencies. It then describes how spoken English data are collected, preprocessed, and framed before being standardized for consistency. After that, this paper uses mapping recognition results using a DBN speech model and correlation coefficients in the evaluation. In addition, it uses the Pairwise Variability Index in rhythm evaluation to assess stress distribution differences between test and standard pronunciation. Besides the above, the proposed approach uses Support Vector Machine (SVM) optimization inside statistical learning to improve phoneme recognition and reliability, especially when dealing with difficult-to-distinguish phoneme sets. Further analysis is carried out using neural networks, which include excitation functions and error computations. Finally, the complete design emphasizes user-centric functional characteristics such as practicability, user needs, and robust system management subsystems. Experiments suggest that the natural language processing-based oral English teaching mode can increase students' overall oral English skills. These results reveal that students' excitement increased by 33.3%, their verbal fluency increased by 86%, and their vocabulary learning increased by 16.1%. The results show that this method can effectively assist students in learning oral English.
