Abstract
With the deep integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and foreign language education, the role of university foreign language teachers is shifting from traditional knowledge transmitters to learning facilitators and human-AI collaborators. Their level of AI literacy directly impacts the quality and effectiveness of the digital transformation in education. This paper, based on the connotation and dimensions of AI literacy, systematically constructs pathways to enhance AI literacy for foreign language teachers from personal, organizational, and societal perspectives, incorporating characteristics of foreign language disciplines and teaching practices. Strategies include autonomous learning, interactive communication, systematic training, scientific evaluation, policy support, and social resource sharing, aiming to provide theoretical references and practical guidance for the professional development of foreign language teachers and the construction of an intelligent education ecosystem.
