This YouTube video features a British Council researcher discussing a report on AI in English language teaching. The report, available for download, analyzes existing research, a survey of 1348 teachers from 118 countries, and interviews with education stakeholders. Findings reveal varied teacher opinions on AI’s role, with some embracing its potential benefits (like improved speaking and writing skills) while others express concerns about student laziness and cheating. The discussion highlights the need for teacher training on ethical AI use, new assessment methods, and addressing issues of access and bias. The researchers emphasize the importance of responsible AI integration and transparency in its use.
