Abstrakt: The field of Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) has undergone tremendous developments during the last decades and with its latest affordances, it has become popular topic of educators as in all walks of life. Diverse Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are being employed more and more often in a range of educational situations and domains, including language learning, in order to accomplish a number of learning goals. However, this intensive and rapid emergence has raised some uncertainties about the effective adoption of AI tools into their language classes by educators. In this respect, this study addresses the attitudes and opinions of English teachers in order to shed light on some uncertainties on this issue. In this study, case study design was employed to determine the general attitudes of English teachers towards AI. The research's findings indicated that instructors are generally optimistic about the acceptance and adoption of AI applications in language instruction and they believe that their usage could contribute to language learning, but they have some reservations though.
