Abstract: British and American literature, as an important carrier of English language and culture, plays a crucial role in enhancing students' language proficiency, cultural literacy, and critical thinking. However, current College English teaching still focuses on language skills training, and the integration of literary elements is relatively insufficient. This article aims to explore the function of the integration of British and American Literature and College English Teaching empowered by AI. Combining the textbooks of New Horizon College English (Third Edition) by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press and New College English by Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press, this article analyzes the functional significance of literary texts in language teaching and the teaching mode under AI empowerment. Research has found that the systematic integration of literary modules and language training can improve the efficiency of vocabulary acquisition and the accuracy of students' cross-cultural communication tests. It can promote the cultivation of students' English language skills, cross-cultural communication abilities, cross-cultural understanding abilities, and critical thinking abilities, and enhance the interactivity and personalized teaching of British and American literature and College English teaching. It is recommended to establish a "four-dimensional linkage" teaching mode to achieve the synchronous development of language skills, humanistic literacy, AI information literacy, and critical thinking.
