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.
