THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE WORK OF A TEACHER OF RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IN UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

. The article studies ways and problems of implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in the practice of teaching Russian as a foreign language (RFL) in Uzbekistan. Based on an analysis of existing scientific literature, best practices, and specific methodological tasks, the most promising areas of AI application in RFL teaching are identified. The method of surveying Uzbek teachers reveals three clusters of attitudes towards the use of ChatGPT: “Resistance/Lack of Awareness,” “Interest/Learning,” and “Active Use/Experience.” It is found that the dominant group (44%) are teachers demonstrating a lack of awareness or negative attitude, while noting a significant interest in learning AI (34% of teachers), which determines prospects for its further implementation in teaching RFL. The work develops methodological recommendations aimed at the effective and safe use of AI in the work of an RFL teacher.
