Research highlights the need for school-age learners to develop digital literacy skills to engage critically and responsibly with AI-based tools. Equally important is the role of (language) teachers, who must possess the skills necessary to guide students in navigating and leveraging this technology effectively. This exploratory study investigates the extent of EFL teachers’ knowledge and their attitudes toward using AI tools for language learning. Focusing on primary and secondary school EFL teachers in Croatia, the study aims to shed light on their perspectives on and preparedness for integration of AI into the language classroom, addressing a critical aspect of modern education and contributing to a deeper understanding of what educators need to successfully incorporate AI into their teachingUporaba umetne inteligence (UI) pri učenju jezikov je močno narasla z razmahom generativnih orodij UI, kot je ChatGPT. Raziskave poudarjajo potrebo po digitalni pismenosti učencev in učenk za kritično in odgovorno uporabo orodij UI. Prav tako je pri tem ključna vloga učiteljev in učiteljic (jezikov), ki morajo imeti ustrezna znanja za učinkovito usmerjanje učečih se pri uporabi te tehnologije. Ta študija ugotavlja raven znanja in stališča učiteljev in učiteljic angleščine kot tujega jezika (EFL) do uporabe orodij UI pri jezikovnem pouku. Raziskava osvetljuje stališča in pripravljenost učiteljev in učiteljic osnovnih in srednjih šol na Hrvaškem za vključevanje UI v jezikovni pouk ter prispeva k razumevanju njihovih potreb za uspešno integracijo UI v učni procesTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta
