The rising relevance of artificial intelligence (AI) in learning and the need to understand its scope thoroughly in English language teaching have made this research pertinent. Consideration of available AI technologies, their merits, shortcomings, and attitudes of English lecturers towards adopting AI technologies will assist in determining helpful strategies for their advancement and suitable integration into educational practices within the language teaching framework. Despite the rapid advancement of AI technologies and their active implementation in education, the practical experience of using AI in English language teaching remains insufficiently explored. Therefore, the research problem lies in the lack of empirical data reflecting lecturers’ perceptions and attitudes towards such technologies and the analysis of their actual pedagogical potential within universities in Kazakhstan, specifically at Astana IT University and Karaganda Buketov University. This study aims to explore the use of modern AI technologies by English lecturers, their impact on educational process, and how educators perceive them. A quantitative research method was employed through a questionnaire involving English lecturers from Astana IT University and Karaganda Buketov University. Based on the collected data, conclusions were drawn regarding the current level of AI technology usage and implementation, lecturers’ perceptions, and potential directions for future development.
