AI as Pedagogical Partner in ELT: Teachers’ Strategies, Dilemmas, and Speaking-Focused Classroom Practices explores how English language teachers position AI not as a replacement for human instruction but as a collaborative partner to enhance students’ speaking skills and overall language learning. Grounded in explanatory sequential mixed-methods research with EFL teachers and learners, the book maps current practices, perceived benefits, and ethical dilemmas of integrating tools such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, ELSA Speak, and other chatbots into Indonesian and wider EFL contexts.
