Abstract: This quantitative study investigated ESL teachers' perceptions of AI utilization in the classroom. Data from a Likert-scale survey administered to 120 ESL teachers revealed both challenges and opportunities associated with AI integration. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Challenges identified included concerns about teacher preparedness, potential bias within AI algorithms, and unequal access to technology and resources. Opportunities included the potential for AI to enhance student motivation and interaction, personalize learning experiences, and encourage teachers' own professional development. These findings highlight the need for culturally sensitive AI tools, targeted professional development programs for ESL educators, and a collaborative approach where AI complements teachers' expertise. The study contributes to the field by offering quantitative insights for educators and developers working to harness the potential of AI for effective and equitable ESL language learning.
