<![CDATA[This study explores the perceptions, pedagogical challenges, and integration strategies of teachers and students regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in English language classrooms within a pesantren (Islamic boarding school) context. Employing a case study design with a phenomenological lens, this research aims to uncover how AI-based tools are received and interpreted amidst the daily learning experiences of a single pesantren. Data are collected through semi-structured interviews and reflective observations, while acknowledging the researcher’s dual positionality as both an insider and observer to ensure a nuanced interpretation of the findings. The study focuses on both the pedagogical benefits and the cultural tensions between technological innovation and traditional religious values. The findings are expected to offer a framework for culturally responsive AI integration in language education, specifically contributing to the discourse of digital literacy within Islamic educational settings]]>
