The use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology in education has become a critical area of interest, particularly in improving the quality of teaching and learning (PdP) for language education among teachers in the Kota Bharu district, Kelantan. This study aims to explore language teachers’ perceptions and acceptance of AI use on the DELIMa platform, as well as to examine the extent of usage and level of mastery of AI technology in their teaching practices. Additionally, the study investigates the factors influencing the effectiveness of AI as a learning tool in enhancing teaching success. A quantitative research design was employed using a questionnaire distributed to language teachers under PPD Kota Bharu who have incorporated AI technology in their classrooms. The findings indicate a high level of positive perception and acceptance towards AI integration. While teachers reported feeling moderately skilled in using AI, they acknowledged the need for ongoing training and exposure to maximise its potential. Notably, the item with the highest mean value (3.36) reflects the belief that AI increases student motivation, whereas the lowest mean value (3.13) relates to AI's role in helping students understand materials better. Overall, AI application in PdP was found to be effective in enhancing student understanding, particularly in language learning. However, challenges such as insufficient training and concerns about overdependence on AI remain, highlighting the need for targeted support to fully harness AI’s potential in improving classroom language instruction.
