Summary/Abstract: The article presents linguodidactological research with foreign language teachers in school education in Bulgaria, with its focus on the use of artificial intelligence in foreign language teaching. After the review of scientific literature on the topic, we examine the syllabi in for the foreign language and information and communication technologies subjects in order to determine whether they include the implementation of artificial intelligence and in what form. The results of the statistical processing of questions related to artificial intelligence are summarized, and after performing a correlation analysis, strong dependencies are found between the application of activities involving artificial intelligence and activities related to the study of foreign languages. It is established that the majority of teachers apply artificial intelligence and believe that the activities related to it lead to positive results, which is also confirmed by the review of scientific literature. It is concluded that foreign language syllabi should be updated by including specific activities related to the use and application of artificial intelligence in foreign language teaching.
