ChatGPT, teacher perceptions, university teachersAbstract
ChatGPT, known as an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, has gained popularity in various fields, including language education, since its launch in 2022. Accordingly, stakeholders have voiced a growing concern about its potential and challenges in different areas. In such a context, the present study investigates teachers’ perceptions about using ChatGPT in language teaching and assessment. The data were collected via a questionnaire survey from the teachers working in Vietnam’s universities, where language teaching is an important field. They were asked about their knowledge and concerns relating to using this conversational AI tool in their teaching and assessment activities and the challenges they might face. The outcomes of this research are likely to play a part in understanding how university teachers access and apply the new technological development to their current work, how they perceive its appropriateness, as well as how they handle its impacts. The investigation has practical implications for providing teachers with professional assistance in managing AI models.
