Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform education by making learning more personalized, interactive, and effective. In the current study, we aimed to propose an AI-oriented English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher education model based on the Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate (ADDIE) instructional design model. We employed descriptive narrative design and the ADDIE model to propose this framework. While trying to construct the qualitative model, we found that to propose an AI-oriented EFL teacher education based on ADDIE the following themes should be taken into account: (a) identifying the professional, psychological, and technological needs of teachers; (b) equipping EFL teachers with AI literacy and pedagogical strategies for teaching in the AI era; (c) addressing professional and financial opportunities and challenges in AI-oriented teacher education for effective implementation; (d) addressing educational and social opportunities and challenges in AI-oriented teacher education for effective implementation; (e) implementing AI-oriented teacher education with AI support for effective training; and (f) evaluating the impact of AI-oriented EFL teacher education on teaching practices. We conclude that a systematic AI-oriented EFL teacher education program needs to address both a priori and a posteriori tasks to be effective, encompassing the phases of ADDIE.
