20.500.12556/RUL-180487 Attitudes of primary and secondary EFL teachers in Croatia towards the use of AI in classroom settings Pogled osnovno- in srednješolskih učiteljev in učiteljic angleščine kot tujega jezika na Hrvaškem na uporabo UI pri pouku The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in language learning has rapidly increased with the widespread popularity of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT. Research highlights the need for school-age learners to develop digital literacy skills to engage critically and responsibly with AI-based tools. Equally important is the role of (language) teachers, who must possess the skills necessary to guide students in navigating and leveraging this technology effectively. This exploratory study investigates the extent of EFL teachers’ knowledge and their attitudes toward using AI tools for language learning. Focusing on primary and secondary school EFL teachers in Croatia, the study aims to shed light on their perspectives on and preparedness for integration of AI into the language classroom, addressing a critical aspect of modern education and contributing to a deeper understanding of what educators need to successfully incorporate AI into their teaching. Uporaba umetne inteligence (UI) pri učenju jezikov je močno narasla z razmahom generativnih orodij UI, kot je ChatGPT. Raziskave poudarjajo potrebo po digitalni pismenosti učencev in učenk za kritično in odgovorno uporabo orodij UI. Prav tako je pri tem ključna vloga učiteljev in učiteljic (jezikov), ki morajo imeti ustrezna znanja za učinkovito usmerjanje učečih se pri uporabi te tehnologije. Ta študija ugotavlja raven znanja in stališča učiteljev in učiteljic angleščine kot tujega jezika (EFL) do uporabe orodij UI pri jezikovnem pouku. Raziskava osvetljuje stališča in pripravljenost učiteljev in učiteljic osnovnih in srednjih šol na Hrvaškem za vključevanje UI v jezikovni pouk ter prispeva k razumevanju njihovih potreb za uspešno integracijo UI v učni proces. artificial intelligence (AI) teacher attitudes EFL digital competence teaching methods primary school secondary school umetna inteligenca (UI) stališča učiteljev in učiteljic angleščina kot tuji jezik digitalne kompetence učne metode osnovna šola srednja šola true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-03-10 12:37:12 2026-03-10 12:37:19 2026-03-11 04:38:31 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 133-150 no. 1 Vol. 22 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-01-01 [811.111’243:37.091.3(497.5)]:004.8 1581-8918 10.4312/elope.22.1.133-150 271126531 RAZ_Prosenjak_Bojan_2025.pdf RAZ_Prosenjak_Bojan_2025.pdf 1 98103B27A0D33C87636F5AA1CA1739CE b979e7c8876b2f5839e8b94577c989166d18c5801c138f698f7f402fc43a2bbb 3ec33f5c-1c75-11f1-a1ba-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=229927 https://journals.uni-lj.si/elope/article/view/21671 1 13271f53-1c75-11f1-a1ba-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=229926 Filozofska fakulteta ELOPE 0 0 0
