Insights into AI and Language Teaching and Learning, 2025
<jats:p>This chapter explores the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) within language education from the perspective of teacher-driven action. It draws on the Community of Practice framework (Lave & Wenger, 1991) to highlight the vital role of teacher communities in raising teachers’ AI literacy and facilitating AI integration. This framework comprises three central elements: the domain, the community, and the practice. The chapter outlines key issues within the domain of AI in language education, introduces various types of teacher communities that address this domain, and shares common practices they undertake. The chapter also integrates personal narratives and encourages readers to reflect on their own roles within teacher communities. It ends with a call to action, with suggestions for readers at all stages of the AI novice-expert spectrum.</jats:p>
