Özet

This study seeks to evaluate the incorporation of ChatGPT, an AI-based

tool, in developing instructional materials for language classrooms.

Volunteer language instructors participated in a hands-on workshop led

by industry professionals. A post-workshop survey evaluated the

participants’ perspectives on ChatGPT’s usefulness and the likelihood of

its future incorporation into instruction. The research also included an

evaluation of instructional materials created with ChatGPT. Most

participants viewed ChatGPT as an innovative and advantageous

instrument for creating educational materials. Many educators are willing

to implement ChatGPT in their classrooms. However, concerns regarding

the implementation’s practicality and technical aspects were expressed.

The study concludes that ChatGPT can potentially enhance the creation

of instructional materials in foreign language classrooms. However,

comprehensive training, ongoing support, and a focus on practical

concerns are required for its successful incorporation into language

instruction. This study contributes to a broader understanding of AI’s

function in contemporary pedagogy by providing educators and

policymakers with valuable insights on incorporating AI tools such as

ChatGPT into education.
