Summary

This study examines high-intermediate ELL students' attitudes toward incorporating AI tools in English language learning. This mixed-methods research employed a survey, classroom observations, and a focus group interview. The findings revealed that while students appreciated AI's potential, 80% were initially unfamiliar with it. Most expressed reluctance to adopt these technologies, which was primarily due to perceived technological difficulties, highlighting the need for targeted training.
