Should English teachers be worried about AI?

Miguel Ángel said...

We should adapt to the new tools both students and teachers have. Chat GPT and AI provide texts, but do not help students to teach how to write them; talk to them but do not explain pronunciation, collocations, grammar, etc. and do not give reasons why some words / phrases / sentences are (or not) correct. It does nor monitor students during their learning process... I could carry on but instead that, I'll copy below AI's answer to your question:
Should English Teachers Be Worried About Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere: in how our students search for information, write messages, revise for exams, or even complete assignments. Understandably, many teachers wonder whether AI is something to fear or simply another tool to integrate. The truth is clear: English teachers shouldn’t be worried — they should be prepared.

AI can generate texts, draft essays, and offer linguistic suggestions, but it still lacks what lies at the heart of language learning: human guidance, interaction, and critical thinking. Students don’t just need correct sentences. They need encouragement, strategy, cultural understanding, mediation practice, and a real person who helps them navigate the complexity of communication. That’s something no algorithm can replace.

Rather than competing with AI, teachers can use it to enhance classroom practice. It can help create exercises, model writing tasks, or provide extra examples for fast finishers. This frees time for what truly matters: feedback, meaningful interaction, and the development of higher-order thinking skills. AI becomes a companion, not a threat.

At the same time, teachers play a vital role in showing students how to use AI responsibly. Many learners rely on it uncritically, accepting answers at face value. By guiding them, we help them build AI literacy — the ability to question, edit, improve, and evaluate AI-generated text. In this new landscape, the teacher remains essential.
AI will not replace English teachers. But English teachers who embrace AI will be better prepared for the challenges and opportunities ahead. Instead of asking whether we should be worried, the real question is: How can we use this tool to help our students learn more effectively?
