To achieve the research objective, the researchers prepared a questionnaire comprising 25 items. After verifying its validity by presenting it to a number of referees and specialists in teaching methods, its reliability was then confirmed through retesting and application to a sample of 25 Arabic language teachers. A three-point Likert scale was used, with three response options provided for each item: ‘Strongly agree’, ‘Agree’ and ‘Disagree’. The highest score for a statement was 3 and the lowest was 1. The questionnaire was administered to a research sample of 50 teachers, The findings revealed that the teachers expressed a desire to learn about and apply artificial intelligence applications in the field of Arabic language teaching.
