Abstract
Artificial intelligence and Fifth-Generation (5G) communication networks are examples of new information technologies that have aided and facilitated educational reform and progress. Built on the convincing requirements of college English education, with the advantage of artificial intelligence technology, we can enhance the teaching mode effectiveness, cultivate students' critical thinking ability, implement personalized wisdom and interactive learning, and thus realize artificial intelligence, and the effective use of 5G in English education is becoming a research hotspot area to be addressed. It is necessary to create a teaching aid system that uses a high-speed network and new type of technology. The specific techniques and measures for introducing 5G technology and artificial intelligence into higher education and English learning are discussed in this study. Students in higher education can benefit from the proposed technique by obtaining a better understanding of the subject and promoting their critical thinking skills. Finally, an experiment is performed to see how operative this technique is at teaching English when compared to traditional methods. The results are analyzed to determine that using this method is effective and boosts students' interest in learning as well as their hands-on abilities.
