Abstract

The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in language education holds transformative potential but faces significant implementation gaps, particularly in Arabic language teaching at the secondary level. This study investigates how teachers’ perceptions, knowledge, attitudes, and gender influence AI adoption in Arabic instruction, addressing a critical gap in which Arabic’s unique linguistic characteristics remain underexplored. Using a quantitative design with total sampling, data were collectedfrom 46 senior high school Arabic teachers through validated instruments measuring four core constructs. The findings reveal that perceptions are the strongest determinant of AI-based teaching practices, outweighing knowledge and attitudes alone. Althoughteachers demonstrate strong conceptual AI knowledge and generally positive attitudes, practical implementation remains limited due to psychological concerns, insufficient training, and uneven technological access. Notably, gender-based patterns show that female teachers report higher confidence but lower actual AI usage than male teachers, who report greater access to facilities. The study concludes that effective AI integration requires targeted professional development that addresses affective and structural barriers, equitable institutional support, and gender-responsive strategies to translate positive perceptions into sustained classroom practice.
