Abstract

This study aims to determine the perceptions of instructors at ………… Center, regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in language teaching, their awareness, and assessments of the opportunities and risks posed by this technology. Designed as qualitative research, data collected from semi-structured interviews with 14 instructors were analyzed using content analysis. The findings revealed that the majority of participants defined AI as systems that mimic human intelligence and model cognitive processes. The analyses show that AI-supported language models offer advantages such as personalized learning, instant feedback, and time savings in material design; however, they also pose significant risks such as academic dishonesty, misinformation, and loss of the cultural structure of language. The research concluded that AI literacy and awareness training for teachers and students is essential for the effective and ethical use of AI.

Özet

Bu çalışma, Türkçe Öğretimi Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezinde görevli öğretim elemanlarının dil öğretiminde yapay zekâ (YZ) kullanımına ilişkin algılarını, farkındalık düzeylerini ve bu teknolojinin sunduğu fırsatlarla risklere dair değerlendirmelerini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Nitel araştırma deseninde tasarlanan çalışmada, 14 öğretim elemanı ile gerçekleştirilen yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmelerden toplanan veriler içerik analizi yöntemiyle çözümlenmiştir. Bulgular, katılımcıların çoğunluğunun YZ’yi insan zekâsını taklit eden ve bilişsel süreçleri modelleyen sistemler olarak tanımladığını ortaya koymuştur. Analizler, YZ dil modellerinin kişiselleştirilmiş öğrenme, anlık geri bildirim ve materyal üretiminde zaman tasarrufu gibi önemli avantajlar sunduğunu; ancak akademik dürüstlük ihlalleri, hatalı bilgi aktarımı, dilin kültürel dokusunun kaybı gibi önemli riskleri de bünyesinde barındırdığını göstermektedir. Araştırma sonucunda, YZ’nin etkili ve etik biçimde kullanılabilmesi için öğretmenlere ve öğrencilere yönelik YZ okuryazarlığı ve farkındalık eğitimlerinin bir gereklilik olduğu saptanmıştır.
