Understanding Turkish EFL Teachers' Beliefs and Perceptions of Artificial Intelligence: A Narrative Review

Yıl 2025, Cilt: 3 Sayı: 2, 102 - 114, 11.12.2025

Öz

This study aimed to review the current literature on teacher perceptions of AI-assisted English language teaching and learning in the Turkish context. The narrative review methodology was utilized to analyze the studies, identify the research trends, and highlight the findings. The results revealed important trends in teachers’ attitudes and perceptions towards AI in Turkish EFL classrooms. The research aims were identified as teachers' views of benefits and issues of AI for teaching and learning, their perceived skills and knowledge, and the future role of AI in ELT. Most teachers reported a lack of confidence in using AI in the classroom and expressed a need for training. The most commonly cited benefits of AI for teachers were identified as lesson planning, material development, and increasing motivation. The benefits for students were the opportunity for at-home practice and receiving feedback. For the challenges concerning teachers, a lack of classroom resources and insufficiency in operating AI for teaching purposes were highlighted. The challenges for students were the risk of cheating, plagiarism, and overreliance. Teachers predicted that AI could redefine the role of the teacher and the traditional methods, yet the idea that AI could replace traditional methods and human teachers was disregarded.

Öz

Bu çalışma, Türkiye'de yapay zeka destekli İngilizce öğretimi ve öğrenimine ilişkin öğretmen algıları üzerine mevcut literatürü incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Çalışmaları analiz etmek, araştırma eğilimlerini belirlemek ve bulguları vurgulamak için anlatı araştırması yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, İngilizcesi sınıflarında öğretmenlerin yapay zekaya yönelik tutum ve algılarında benzerlikler olduğunu göstermiştir. İncelenen araştırmaların amaçları genel olarak öğretmenlerin yapay zekanın öğretim ve öğrenme açısından fayda ve sorunlarına ilişkin görüşleri, kendi algılarına göre yapay zeka beceri ve bilgileri, ve yapay zekanın İngilizce öğretimindeki gelecek rolü olarak belirlenmiştir. Çoğu öğretmen, yapay zekayı sınıfta kullanma konusunda eksik hissettiğini bildirmiş ve konuyla ilgili bir eğitim gerektiğini ifade etmiştir. Öğretmenler için yapay zekanın en sık belirtilen yararları ders planlama, materyal geliştirme ve motivasyonu artırma olarak belirlenmiştir. Öğrenciler için yararları ise evde ek çalışmalar yapma ve geri bildirim alma fırsatı olarak belirlenmiştir. Öğretmenlerle ilgili zorluklar arasında sınıf kaynaklarının eksikliği ve yapay zekayı öğretme amaçlı kullanmada yetersizlik olarak tanımlanmıştır. Öğrenciler için zorluklar kopya çekme, intihal ve aşırı bağımlılık riski olarak belirlenmiştir. Öğretmenler, yapay zekanın öğretmenin rolünü ve geleneksel yöntemleri yeniden tanımlayabileceğini öngörürken, yapay zekanın geleneksel yöntemlerin ve öğretmenlerin yerini alabileceği fikrine katılmamışlardır.
