Abstract

This systematic review, conducted according to PRISMA guidelines, investigated teachers' readiness and influencing factors in integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in English Language Teaching (ELT). The study analyzed 20 research articles published between 2021 and 2025, emphasizing on the utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education. Key findings revealed that AI offers significant benefits, including adapt lessons to suit every learner’s preferred way of learning and prepare tasks for the students. Furthermore, AI fosters digital literacy and creativity of the teachers to improve engagement, learning outcomes, and classroom efficiency. While AI demonstrates the ability to improve learner engagement and motivation, the study also acknowledged the factors related with implementing AI technology in educational settings. The review also underscores varying levels of awareness and confidence among teachers in using AI tools effectively within ELT contexts. This analysis of fer meaningful informations for educators aiming to effectively integrate AI into their teaching practices, ultimately improving student learning outcomes.
