    (SDU University, 2025) Alina Fazilova; Aizhan Kayip
    Prolific advancements in the sphere of Artificial Intelligence in Education and Artificial Intelligence, in general, beg the questions of how these technologies could be implemented in the English as a Foreign Language sphere and what English as a Foreign Language teachers’ attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence-generated lesson plans are. In this research paper, the attitudes of Kazakhstani secondary school English as a Foreign Language teachers towards the use of Artificial Intelligence-generated lesson plans have been explored. Through analyzing responses from an online survey, the study identifies several prominent themes that reflect the overall attitudes of teachers towards Artificial Intelligence-generated lesson planning. The study employed qualitative research design and involved 27 participants. Their attitudes were collected via an open-ended questionnaire and analyzed with thematic analysis. The results indicate that AI-generated lesson plans can have a positive impact on student learning outcomes, with the guidance and adjustments made by teachers. However, concerns about automation bias and the lack of personalization in the plans are also identified. The benefits of lesson planning generated by Artificial Intelligence include efficiency, customization, and innovative ideas, while drawbacks include inflexibility in unanticipated situations and a lack of specificity in students' needs. The study concludes that teachers express overall positive attitudes towards the use of Artificial Intelligence-generated lesson plans. According to the results, English as a Foreign Language teachers believe that they offer a range of benefits for teachers and can potentially enhance student learning outcomes when used in conjunction with teacher modifications and adjustments.
