Abstract: Accurate instruction has become the main need with the development of smart classrooms. Although cognitive diagnostic tests can show students' cognitive status, it is primarily applied for static assessment, which is challenging to satisfy the dynamic adaptation requirements of English learning activities. This work, therefore, concentrates on the smart classroom scenario and builds a cognitive diagnosis-based adaptive model for English learning activities (CD-ELAM). The model realises the exact identification of students' cognitive state and the dynamic optimisation of task pushing by combining four modules: cognitive state modelling, task feature expression, task regulating mechanism and personalised learning strategies, so forming a closed-loop task adaptation mechanism. In terms of cognitive diagnosis accuracy and learning effect improvement, the experimental results reveal that CD-ELAM beats the current approaches; moreover, it has good adaptability and practicality.
