Abstract

This article explores the perceptions of pre-service secondary school English teachers regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI). An ad hoc questionnaire and a focus group were conducted with students enrolled in the Master's Degree in Secondary Education, Baccalaureate, Vocational Training, and Language Teaching at the University of Burgos. The findings reveal a generally positive attitude towards integrating AI into the classroom, while also identifying areas for development in teacher training and concerns about ethical implications. The study concludes that initial teacher education is essential for promoting a critical, pedagogical, and ethical approach to these emerging technologies.
