Abstract
With the rapid advancement of technology, the integration of high-tech tools, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), into language learning and teaching has become increasingly popular. This surge is accompanied by numerous studies exploring the evolving roles of teachers and the effective application of AI in English instruction. This research explored students' perspectives on AI in English learning and its use by teachers at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH). Using a mixed-method approach, data was gathered through a questionnaire survey and in-depth interviews with 50 first-year students majoring in Accounting, Finance, and International Business. The findings indicate that students hold realistic and well-balanced views on teachers' use of AI in English teaching, showing appropriate attitudes toward its classroom application. The results suggest that English teachers should adopt AI sensibly and creatively to maximize its potential benefits while avoiding over-reliance on this powerful tool.
