Teachers’ Perceptions and Experiences of ChatGPT Integration in Language Learning and Academia: A Mixed-Method Study

This study examines the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) based tools, especially ChatGPT, in current language education by examining teachers’ perceptions of its integration into language learning and academic contexts. Using a mixed-methods design that combines Likert-scale survey data with qualitative responses and semi-structured interviews, the study explores teachers’ views on ChatGPT’s role in language acquisition and academic writing. The findings reveal a mostly positive perception of its pedagogical worth, explicitly in developing instructional efficiency and learner engagement, while also underscoring concerns related to academic integrity, overreliance, and ethical use. The results further prove how educators perceive ChatGPT’s influence on student interaction, language development, and learning outcomes. Finally, the study adds empirical insights into the benefits and challenges of AI-assisted learning and offers informed recommendations for the responsible and effective integration of ChatGPT in educational contexts
