The Future of Language Education: Teachers’
Perceptions About the Surge of Large Language
Models like ChatGPT
(1) Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT have
been described as a disruptive technology — an
innovation that significantly alters or even revolutionises
an existing industry, often introducing new approaches,
challenging established methodologies, or interpreting
older methods as obsolete.
(2) LLMs are computational models that have the
capability to understand and generate human language.
This capacity to generate human language has the
potential to transform language teaching and learning.
(3) Teachers can use LLM tools to personalise learning,
plan lessons, create quizzes or other learning activities,
and to provide feedback. In second language (L2)
classes, teachers could use these models to explain
grammar, propose improvements in grammar and style,
and facilitate conversational practice. These
affordances are an advantage to instructors, saving
them time and providing personalised instructional
support, and many educators are excited to try working
with LLMs.
(4) But, as it is common with any new technology, many
others are fearful of LLMs’ potential to disturb the way
that students approach classroom learning. Fear of new
technologies is not uncommon because they require
educators to adapt, which can be intimidating;
educators may question their pedagogical effectiveness
or the loss of human interaction.
(5) The results of a survey conducted with 65 language
instructors showed mixed feelings: ranging from
excitement for the pedagogical potential of ChatGPT to
fear of potential academic dishonesty and job security.
(6) Importantly, those who had previously engaged with
the tool expressed greater enthusiasm for its wider
application compared to their counterparts with no such
experience. This suggests that familiarity may mitigate
apprehension and foster a more optimistic outlook on
the potential of ChatGPT in educational settings.
Whether language instructors are in admiration or fear
of ChatGPT, Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are here to
stay — rather than ignore them, we must quickly learn
to use them, understand the challenges and benefits,
and develop both instructional approaches and policies.

English Language Teaching in Brazil: A Gap in Policy,
Problems in Practice
Only three percent of Brazilians are estimated to speak
English despite the status of this language as a
mandatory subject. This fact relates to a gap in foreign
language teaching policy documents: the National
Education Guidelines and Framework Law (LDB), and
the National Curriculum Parameters (PCN). These
documents for many years did not prescribe the
necessary conditions for English Language Teaching
(ELT) to take place effectively, often focusing on
reading due to a lack of resources or large classes.
LDB mandated the teaching of a foreign language
chosen locally from grades 5 to 12. A recent reform in
2017 has added that English will be the foreign
language taught in secondary school (from grade 6 up)
throughout the country. Previous versions of LDB,
however, did not mandate the teaching of English,
leading to the perception that only in private language
centers could students learn the language.
The effectiveness of ELT in basic education remains
low because policies impact the quality of teacher
education, the availability of pedagogical resources,
and the number of students in the classroom. Most
schools are equipped with basic materials like
blackboards and chairs, but few have audiovisual
equipment installed in every classroom. This reality
shows why many teachers stick to the textbook most of
the time.
Many English teachers in Brazil do not speak the
language fluently because most undergraduate
programs offer a dual major (English and Portuguese).
Often, aspiring teachers enroll because they actually
want to teach Portuguese. Consequently, these
teachers reproduce in their classrooms the approaches
in which they were taught as students, focusing on
grammar-translation rather than modern communicative
methods.
Misconceptions about the language also contribute to a
lack of motivation. Some believe English is only from
England or the USA. To correct this, BNCC (National
Common Curriculum Base) suggests an intercultural
approach to make the study of a foreign language more
socially and culturally relevant. BNCC aims to raise
awareness of the global web in which English is
involved, and it is treating it as a tool for citizenship.
