Induction of Artificial Intelligence in Bangladeshi EFL Classrooms: Teacher-Students Perception
Main Article Content
Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a computer-based simulation of human intelligence designed to behave like humans. The induction of Artificial intelligence (AI) in English language teaching has a bright future to enrich practical skills like writing and speaking adopting the platform to strengthen the habit formation in English language development. This study aims to explore the perception of Bangladeshi EFL teachers and students in incorporating Artificial Intelligence in English language classrooms. The researchers adopted the content analysis following the existed secondary data. The paper reflects a huge positive attitude of both EFL teachers and students in developing EFL learners‘ macro skills and micro skills by the induction of AI in the implementation of different activities in ELT classrooms. Besides, the paper also reveals the adoption of the six major applications of AI, including Automatic Evaluation Systems, Neural Machine Translation Tools, Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs), AI Chatting Robots, Intelligent Virtual Environments, and Affective Computing (AC) in ITSs throughout EFL classrooms, which will accelerate EFL learners‘ English language proficiency. Finally the proper knowledge of technology in incorporating AI in ELT activities in EFL classrooms would accelerate EFL learners‘ English language skills.
