In my opinion, the role of the English teacher must be redefined around new competencies. It is no longer just about teaching grammar or vocabulary, but about encouraging critical thinking, autonomy, and the strategic use of technological tools. With the support of AI, students can practice pronunciation, improve their writing, or engage in interactive conversations in real time. Therefore, the teacher’s responsibility is to interpret the information generated by AI to personalize teaching, resolve deeper doubts, and maintain the irreplaceable human element: empathy, motivation, and emotional connection with students.

I believe this evolution should not be seen with fear, but rather as an opportunity to rethink education from a more human and collaborative approach. Artificial intelligence can become a powerful ally if we view it as a support tool and not as a threat. To make this possible, teachers must receive proper training on how to integrate these tools, reflect on their ethical implications, and actively participate in shaping new teaching methodologies. Only in this way can we ensure that technology truly serves learning and not the other way around.
