Practice and Exploration of AI-Empowered English Literature Selected Readings Teaching Under the OBE Concept: A Case Study of the Instructional Paradigm for Gulliver’ Travels

Abstract

In the era where artificial intelligence (AI) technology is reshaping the educational landscape, traditional English literature selected readings teaching is in urgent need of innovation. Guided by the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) framework, this study explores a new AI-empowered teaching model for English literature. Using Gulliver’s Travels as the core teaching case, the paper designs and implements a comprehensive instructional pathway that integrates intelligent guided reading, multi-theoretical critical analysis, and creative writing. By incorporating mainstream domestic AI dialogue platforms and intelligent writing assistance tools, this model aims to systematically cultivate students’ critical thinking and creative writing abilities. Practice has shown that this paradigm can effectively guide students to deconstruct texts in depth, establish connections between classic literature and contemporary issues, thereby significantly enhancing their literary criticism literacy and innovative expression skills. This research provides an actionable model for reference in the reform of English literature teaching in the digital age.
