Abstract
AThe study examines the perspectives of lecturers and students on using Generative AI (GenAI) for teaching and learning English in Vietnam. GenAI tools such as Duolingo, ChatGPT, or Gemini have been proven to enhance personalized learning experience, provide instant feedback, or reduce teacher workload. However, they also pose challenges such as information reliability, over-reliance on using GenAI, or ethical issues. Despite widespread use in English education in Vietnam, more insight is needed into the perceptions of both students and teachers regarding GenAI’s benefits and drawbacks, particularly at the tertiary level. The study triangulates data from questionnaires and interviews with students, lecturers and managers to deepen understanding. The paper reinforces the views of GenAI as supportive for students in enhancing engagement, autonomy, and access to learning resources, particularly in English writing and vocabulary development. It also highlights concerns related to information accuracy, critical thinking decline, academic integrity, and data privacy. The paper suggests that while GenAI could enrich the landscape of English education in Vietnam, its implementation should include clear ethical guidelines, teacher training, and digital literacy development.
