The use of smart technologies in bilingual education opens up new opportunities for language learning. This study aims to examine the influence of bilingualism on neural connections and brain activity in the context of education based on smart technologies. To achieve this goal, an experiment used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). An additional method was pre-testing and post-testing of students. The study took place at East China Normal University and Shandong University. The participants were 120 students; 50 of them were Americans, 50 were British, and 20 were Australians. All participants were randomly divided into two groups (control and experimental) with 60 participants each. In the comparison of fMRI data between the control and experimental groups, the experimental group demonstrated stronger and broader connectivity in speech-related brain regions, including those involved in speech processing. In addition, bilingualism was found to increase the volume of gray matter in areas related to speech processing, attention, and executive functions. Bilingualism was also associated with increased neuroplasticity, improved executive functions, and increased cognitive flexibility. The members of the experimental group scored more points on the final test (74.71) than the members of the control group (65.9). These findings serve as a basis for further research because they contribute to the theoretical understanding of how bilingualism influences neural connections. The practical implication of the study is that incorporating smart technologies in bilingual education can open up new opportunities for language learning.

智能技术在双语教育中的运用为语言学习开辟了新的机遇。本研究旨在探讨基于智能技术的教育背景下双语对神经连接和大脑活动的影响。为了实现这一目标，一项实验使用了功能磁共振成像（fMRI）。另一种方法是对学生进行事前测试和事后测试。该研究在华东师范大学和山东大学进行。参加者为120名学生；其中 50 名美国人，50 名英国人，20 名澳大利亚人。所有参与者被随机分为两组（对照组和实验组），每组 60 名参与者。在对照组和实验组之间的功能磁共振成像数据比较中，实验组表现出与语音相关的大脑区域更强、更广泛的连接性，包括那些参与语音处理的区域。此外，双语被发现会增加与语音处理、注意力和执行功能相关区域的灰质体积。双语还与神经可塑性的增强、执行功能的改善和认知灵活性的增强有关。实验组的成员在期末测试中得分（74.71）高于对照组的成员（65.9）。这些发现可以作为进一步研究的基础，因为它们有助于从理论上理解双语如何影响神经连接。该研究的实际意义在于，将智能技术融入双语教育可以为语言学习开辟新的机会。
