Authors : Benaicha Bochra . Semmoud Abdellatif .

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence is changing significantly the landscape of education and therefore language teaching and learning (LTL). Its incorporation in LTL is manifested through the use of various AI-based platforms, applications, and chatbots such as Chatgpt. These tools and AI-based platforms are not used solely for teaching and learning but for teachers’ training and enhancing professional development including Edthena, Cogni, TeachMate AI, Teach Boost, and Classcraft. Relatively, the use of these AI tools offers multiple features such as speech recognition, image, media, and content production, creating personalised learning opportunities, facilitating communication, and saving time and energy. Accordingly, teachers’ attitudes toward the use of AI tools in LTL vary due to various reasons. Therefore, this paper seeks to explore teachers’ perceptions of using AI tools in LTL. Furthermore, it aims to highlight the impact of using AI on LTL. The research follows a quantitative methodology through the use of an online questionnaire for data collection. The latter was distributed to 200 Algerian EFL teachers. The results reveal that teachers have a positive attitude toward the use of AI. However, teachers point out the possible issues that may arise from the use of AI in education such as the change in teachers’ role.
