Abstract

Artificial Intelligence integration in the field of education has transformed pedagogical strategies into innovative ways that improve customized learning and the way instruction is delivered. The research delves into the attitudes and experiences of teachers in English department of Cagayan State University Piat Campus toward the incorporation of AI into their teaching strategies. It observes how AI-led instruction-based approaches contribute to the interaction and performance of learners and derives some challenges and opportunities for incorporating AI into instructional systems. Using a qualitative approach, it is gathered through semi-structured interviews with faculty members that perceived benefits of AI in enhancing student engagement and personalized experiences. Some of the most significant drawbacks for successful implementation of AI include insufficient training, lack of technological infrastructure, and ethical concerns. The study emphasizes the importance of proper training, infrastructure development, and balanced integration of AI to optimize its potential in English education, thus providing valuable insights for policy formulation and practice enhancement in similar academic settings.
