Opinions on the Use of ChatGPT as a Generative Artificial Intelligence Tool in Foreign Language Teaching

Summary/Abstract: This research aims to examine the opinions of instructors on the use of ChatGPT in English language education and compare their opinions with those of ChatGPT-4. This research, designed using a phenomenological approach among qualitative research methods, included 11 instructors working in the foreign languages department of a foundation university as participants. Additionally, the opinions of ChatGPT-4 were consulted in this research. Data collected through a semi-structured interview were analysed using content and descriptive analysis techniques. This research has determined that ChatGPT can be effective despite certain limitations, especially in enhancing grammar, vocabulary, reading, and writing skills. It has also been concluded that ChatGPT can support students in improving their pronunciation, speaking, and listening skills; however, its impact in these areas is considered limited due to the lack of real-time interaction. Both instructors and ChatGPT-4 advocate using ChatGPT as a controlled supplementary resource in foreign language education. Finally, they emphasize that this use should be provided under teacher guidance and with feedback.
