Abstract

In 2020, conducting education in distance is obligatory since the education must continue while the world is still fighting with the coronavirus disease and one of the ways of teaching in distance learning is using ICT. While several studies have investigated teachers’ attitudes of using ICT in face to face classrooms, few studies investigate teachers’ attitudes of using ICT in distance learning. This study examines 52 teachers’ attitudes and problems in using ICT in EFL distance learning in a language development center. The questionnaires are delivered and the interview is conducted to collect the data that disclose the teachers’ attitudes and problems of using ICT in distance learning. After analyzing the data, the findings in this study indicate that the teachers have positive attitudes toward the use of ICT in distance learning. The problems that occur when using ICT in distance learning are further discussed and possible suggestions are presented.

Abstract

This study examines how EFL teachers incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into teaching reading comprehension in online environments, with a focus on its role in lesson planning, delivery, and evaluation. The research aims to understand the diverse ways educators adopt AI tools in their practices. Using a qualitative approach, involving interviews and classroom observations, the study captures teachers' experiences with AI integration. Findings reveal that AI enhances the personalization of reading materials, enables real-time feedback during lessons, and streamlines the grading process. However, the study also highlights differing attitudes toward AI, as some teachers prefer traditional methods, citing concerns about losing pedagogical control and the limitations of AI technology. The study concludes that, while AI holds significant potential for improving instructional practices, there is a clear need for professional development programs to help teachers effectively balance AI use with traditional pedagogical methods. Future research should investigate the long-term effects of AI on student learning outcomes, examine AI's influence on teacher-student interactions, and evaluate the role of professional development in supporting AI adoption in education.
