Exploring How English Teachers Can Integrate Generative AI into English Language Teaching

Abstract

Because of the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (AI), the possibility of introducing GAI into educational settings is gaining more and more attention. This is especially true with the release of ChatGPT in 2023. This study focusses on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in English language instruction from four different points of view: the creation of materials, the preparation of lessons, the checking of grammar, and the role of a learning partner. In this section, we will expand upon the instructors’ perspectives on the uses and effectiveness of employing GAI in education, as derived from current research that are linked to this topic. The paper will also emphasize the value of AI literacy training for teachers and the necessity of a balanced approach between human teaching and the use of GAI. This is done with the intention of assisting English teachers in the process of changing traditional education for the development of GAI.
