A SOCIOLOGICAL PORTRAIT OF A MGIMO FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHER IN THE CONTEXT OF INTEGRATING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOLS INTO THE EDUCATIONAL PARADIGM

Abstract

The article presents a sociological portrait of an FL MGIMO teacher, which is formed on the basis of a university-based study that reveals MGIMO teachers’ perception of the use of artificial intelligence in the educational process. The authors identify opinions of teachers regarding the use of AI, their motivation, causes, obstacles and positive attitude towards the ways of usage of AI in the future. Recommendations based on the results of the study include organizing advanced training courses for teachers on the use of neural networks and other AI tools, as well as providing access to resources and support for the introduction of new technologies. The study provides important conclusions about the perception and willingness of teachers to use artificial intelligence tools in the educational process, opening new prospects for the effective use of technology in teaching foreign languages. The focus is also on context definitions, the current state of artificial intelligence technology, its retrospective and stages of evolution.
