Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction has expanded rapidly, yet little is known about how teachers make pedagogical decisions regarding AI use in speaking classrooms. This study investigates how EFL teachers explain and justify their decisions about when and how to use AI tools in speaking instruction, employing a convergent mixed-methods design. Quantitative data were collected through a survey of 24 teachers, analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative insights were obtained from semi-structured interviews with 12 teachers, analyzed thematically. Findings reveal that teachers adopt a selective, context-sensitive approach, prioritizing AI for pronunciation practice and fluency exercises, where immediate feedback and structured practice are most effective. Teachers exercise professional judgment to balance AI affordances with pedagogical objectives, contextual constraints, and ethical considerations, ensuring that AI supplements rather than replaces human interaction. The study highlights the multidimensional nature of teacher agency in AI-supported speaking instruction and provides practical implications for professional development and curriculum design. Future research could examine AI integration across other language skills, diverse educational contexts, and longitudinal impacts on learners’ speaking proficiency and autonomy.

Abstract

ChatGPT has become increasingly popular in recent times due to its utilization of AI technology, surpassing Google in terms of effectiveness. It is also widely used by students as a valuable learning tool. When learning English, ChatGPT can aid in translating passages and evaluating students' writing. This study aimed to assess the impact of ChatGPT on students' writing skills. The results demonstrated that students were able to identify their writing mistakes through the use of ChatGPT. Not only did ChatGPT provide corrections, but it also offered comments on their writing, facilitating easy revision. Furthermore, students exhibited improved writing when compared to using Google Translate. While Google Translate merely translates the text, ChatGPT provides suggestions for enhancing the writing, resulting in more cohesive compositions. However, students argued that Google Translate was more convenient because it allowed for automatic translation by simply taking a picture of their writing. In contrast, ChatGPT requires manual typing of the text. It is worth noting that although Google Translate offers convenience, ChatGPT provides valuable guidance for better writing. In conclusion, ChatGPT can serve as an alternative for teaching writing. Teachers can encourage students to utilize ChatGPT to evaluate their writing, ensuring that they do not overly rely on it and make progress in learning English. By striking a balance between independent writing skills and the assistance of ChatGPT, students can enhance their overall language proficiency.
