Teachers’ Attitudes About The Feasibility Of Using Chatgpt In English Classes The Case Study Of Efl Teachers At Khenchela University

Résumé: It is becoming very common among teachers and students to resort to some artificial intelligence tools to find solutions to problems that they consider new or challenging. One classical example of these tools is Chat GPT, which has recently gained wide currency among researchers, translators, students, and even teachers. Despite the fact that the uses and workings of Chat GPT are viewed as extraordinary based on the huge number of possibilities that this generative artificial intelligence technology can provide, practitioners in the educational arena -teachers in particular- have always complained about how passive the teaching- learning process has become due to the manifested overdependence upon this tool. This work aims at gauging teachers’ attitudes about the use of Chat GPT in English as a foreign language (EFL) classes. Accordingly, an interview with seven teachers at the department of English at Khenchela University was conducted. Findings maintain that choosing to use Chat GPT in language-based classes should be accompanied by some working knowledge about the way this tool can help students acquire the language and enhance their performance in the four language skills.
