The use of AI in foreign language teaching at universities - one year later

The paper deals with artificial intelligence in foreign language teaching, its potential, opportunities and also threats. The purpose of the study is to find out about the sentiment of foreign language teachers towards artificial intelligence, their experience and the extent to which they have already been trained in this field. In order to achieve these objectives, the authors adopted a mixed approach, where a questionnaire and interviews were used as research tools. Based on the results of the questionnaire survey, we can conclude that no dependence between age and sentiment towards AI has been proved. Also, there is no dependence between training provided by university and teachers ́ sentiment towards AI. On the other hand, there is a dependence between training provided by the language department and teachers´ sentiment towards AI. By now, most university language teachers have not received enough training from their employer and acquire their skills mainly through self-study. They would appreciate continuous training in AI and related fields.
