<![CDATA[This study explores how artificial intelligence (AI) in education is represented in Vietnamese English-language online news from the perspectives of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). As AI and digital transformation continue to influence educational policy and public discourse, English-language media have become important sites for constructing meanings about technological change and educational development. The study was based on 30 news articles published between 2024 and 2025 on major Vietnamese English-language news platforms. Using AntConc (Version 4.4.0), the study analyzed 76 extracts related to AI, teachers, students, ethics, innovation, and digital transformation. The findings show that AI was frequently associated with modernization, educational reform, and future educational development. Many articles framed AI as both necessary and transformative through evaluative and policy-related language. At the same time, teachers and students continued to be represented as central educational actors responsible for ethical decision-making, critical thinking, and adaptation to technological change. The analysis also revealed broader concerns related to modernization, global integration, and national competitiveness. From an ELF perspective, the articles not only addressed local educational issues but also presented Vietnam as increasingly connected to global educational and technological developments. The study contributes to current research on AI discourse, educational media representation, and ELF communication in Vietnam.]]>
