Empowering College English Teaching With Deepseek: Practical Applications and Challenges

Applying artificial intelligence (AI) technology to language teaching has become a new trend in higher education. As an AI tool fully leveraging deep learning technology, Deepseek has been increasingly adopted in university English teaching. This paper analyzes Deepseek’s practical applications in university English teaching, including automated interactive learning, quality assessment, specialized learning modules as well as integration of ideological and political education in English teaching. Additionally, it discusses major challenges encountered during Deepseek’s application, such as insufficient student interaction and concerns related to data privacy and information security. Finally, the paper explores future directions for Deepseek in university English education, proposing strategies to promote human-AI collaborative teaching models and enhance data integration to improve model output quality.
