The study explores the role of artificial intelligence literacy (AIL) in the effective integration of AI technologies into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching. Drawing on recent empirical research and theoretical perspectives, including the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, the study examines the pedagogical opportunities and challenges associated with AI-supported language instruction. Particular attention is given to teachers’ perceptions, readiness, professional knowledge, and capacity to critically evaluate and apply AI-generated resources in accordance with educational objectives. The analysis highlights the potential of AI-powered tools to improve learners’ grammatical competence, reduce foreign language anxiety, personalise learning experiences, and support teachers’ instructional planning. At the same time, it identifies significant barriers to effective implementation, including insufficient technical and pedagogical expertise, limited institutional support, ethical concerns, and difficulties associated with prompt engineering and responsible AI use. The study emphasises the relevance of a multidimensional, context-sensitive framework for assessing EFL teachers’ AI literacy, comprising six interrelated dimensions: conceptual understanding, technical proficiency, pedagogical integration, adaptive expertise, ethical reasoning, and self-efficacy. It is argued that developing these competencies through systematic, TPACK-informed professional development is essential for ensuring meaningful, inclusive, and responsible AI integration in foreign language education.
