THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ENHANCING LANGUAGE TEACHING AND LEARNING
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in education, particularly in language teaching and learning. This study explores educators' awareness, perceptions, and readiness to incorporate AI into teaching practices, highlighting its benefits and challenges. A structured questionnaire conducted with 22 educators exposed that while most of the educators are familiar with AI tools like ChatGPT and Grammarly, their practical application remains limited due to insufficient training and ethical concerns. AI’s potential to enhance efficiency, personalize learning, and provide real-time feedback is acknowledged, yet barriers such as data privacy concerns, technological gaps, and resistance to adoption persist. The findings highlight the need for targeted professional development, clearer ethical guidelines, and equitable access to AI technology. Addressing these challenges can enable AI to revolutionize language education, making it more effective, engaging, and tailored to individual learner needs.
