摘要
本定性研究旨在探讨英语教师如何看待学习英语作为外语的沙特学生使用人工智能的利弊。本研究以伊玛目穆罕默德本沙特伊斯兰大学(Al-Imam Mohammed Bin Saud Islamic University)语言与翻译学院为案例,采用半结构化访谈的方式,深入探讨了教师的教学理念、道德关切以及对沙特学生使用人工智能工具的期望。研究的主要问题集中在探讨人工智能对学生语言成绩的积极和消极影响。研究结果从教师访谈中发现了几个主题,包括在课堂上实施人工智能的策略、人工智能对学生语言能力的影响以及指导学生有效使用人工智能应用的重要性。研究结果还强调了教师对扩大开源语言学习在线渠道和在英语课堂中广泛使用机器人的期望。研究建议将专业发展计划与语言课程结合起来,使教师掌握将人工智能技术有效融入课堂的必要技能。本研究的意义在于,它为当前关于在教育中使用人工智能的讨论做出了贡献,提出了人工智能对学生语言成绩影响的实证证据。
Using Artificial Intelligence in English As A Foreign Language Classrooms: Ethical Concerns and Future Prospects
This qualitative study aimed to explore how teachers of English perceive the advantages and disadvantages of using artificial intelligence by Saudi students who study English as a Foreign Language. The study used semi-structured interviews to delve into teachers’ pedagogical beliefs, ethical concerns, and expectations regarding using artificial intelligence tools by Saudi students, using the College of Languages and Translation at Al-Imam Mohammed Bin Saud Islamic University as a case study. The main research question focused on examining the positive and negative impacts of artificial intelligence on students’ language performance. The study findings revealed several themes from teachers’ interviews, including strategies for implementing artificial intelligence in the classroom, the impacts of artificial intelligence on students’ language proficiency, and the importance of guiding students to effectively use artificial intelligence applications. The findings also highlighted teachers’ expectations for expanding open-source language learning online channels and the widespread use of robots in English classrooms. The study recommends aligning professional development programs with language curricula to equip teachers with the necessary skills for effectively integrating artificial intelligence technologies into the classroom. The significance of this study stems from its contribution to the current debate on using artificial intelligence in education, presenting empirical evidence on its impacts on students’ language performance.
