In recent years research has focused on the individual differences and psychological factors of English learners and how to improve their independent learning ability and learning effect, but neglected the research on learning experience. To solve this problem, this paper designs an English learning experience optimization model based on artificial intelligence technology. The experimental results show that the indicators of the experimental group, including students’ English learning experience and English learning motivation, are significantly higher after the experiment than before. It shows that the model constructed in this paper provides a new experience for English teaching and reaches the expected purpose.
