Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming part of everyday life in education, and English teaching is no exception. The British Council’s 2024 report AI and ELT: Preparing for the future shows how teachers around the world are starting to use AI tools to support speaking, writing, and reading practice. These tools can give instant feedback, help students build confidence, and even make learning more personalised.
But the report also points out some important challenges. Many teachers don’t yet feel confident using AI in class, and issues like bias, privacy, and unequal access are real concerns. The message is clear: AI should be seen as a support, not a replacement, for good teaching. Teachers and students need to understand what AI can and can’t do, and make thoughtful choices about when to use it.
Used wisely, AI has the potential to make learning more engaging and accessible. The key is to combine the opportunities it offers with the creativity, guidance, and human connection that only teachers can bring.
