Abstract

This study investigates the integration of generative AI into college English listening instruction, emphasizing teachers’ experiences, perceptions, and challenges. Through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations, the study examines how AI-driven tools enhance listening comprehension by offering personalized learning experiences and adaptive feedback. Findings indicate that generative AI supports differentiated instruction, fosters student engagement, and provides tailored practice opportunities. However, challenges such as inadequate training and curriculum misalignment limit effective integration. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on AI-assisted language learning, providing practical insights for educators and policymakers to improve listening pedagogy through AI technologies.
