Abstract
This qualitative case study investigates how experienced English language teachers in Malaysian primary schools integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, QuillBot, and Canva Magic Write into their teaching practices. Five teachers with over five years of experience were purposively selected as participants. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and lesson plan analyses. The findings indicate that AI tools assist teachers in lesson design, assessment, and creative classroom engagement. Teachers reported that these tools enhance efficiency, differentiation, and student motivation, though challenges remain regarding technological limitations, overreliance, and the need for continuous professional development. The study highlights that effective AI integration can strengthen English language pedagogy when supported by adequate training, ethical awareness, and technological infrastructure.
