To improve the English proficiency of college students, this paper attempts to promote autonomous English learning among these students using artificial intel-ligence technology. Specifically, the principles, features and application fields of artificial intelligence were introduced in details, and the requirements, structure, database and processes of autonomous English learning systems were discussed at length. On this basis, the backpropagation (BP) neural network, a typical artifi-cial intelligence technique, was selected to design the modules of the autonomous English learning system for college students. The proposed system was then im-plemented in integrated open environment of Visual Studio, the architecture of the browser/server system and the SQL Server database on the Windows platform. The results show that the proposed system provides college students with intelli-gent and open self-evaluation tests and effective learning feedbacks. The research findings shed new light on improving the English learning of college students and reliving the pressure on college English teachers.
