This article will briefly present the great changes that took place in English education in the background of industry 4.0, focusing especially on how modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in industry 4.0 has influenced the way of English teaching and learning. First, the general changes in English education and the features of traditional way of English teaching will be concluded, followed by a brief introduction of the circle of English learning. Based on the circle, four technologies (intelligent tutoring system, chatbot, virtual reality, and automatic evaluation system) will be introduced to illustrate how Artificial Intelligence technologies can help English learners facilitate their learning in different learning stages, so that they can learn English in a personalized, immersive, flexible and smart way. Finally, there will be a conclusion about the application of the AI technologies in English education.
