The present research investigated Iranian and non-Iranian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ perception of ChatGPT applications in English language instruction. English language teachers' ChatGPT-associated perceptions were investigated using an online survey through Google Forms, which also examined the participants’ experiences of its advantages and drawbacks. Convenience sampling was used to select participants based on their accessibility, leading to a sample of 93 English language teachers (45 Iranian and 48 non-Iranian). The participants belonged to various countries like Iran, Malaysia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Russia. One-way ANOVA was employed to analyze the data. The results indicated higher optimism toward ChatGPT's potential contribution to language instruction in Iranian teachers compared to their non-Iranian counterparts, who showed a more critical viewpoint. However, the participants confirmed the time-saving advantages of ChatGPT for grading and feedback. Besides, all participants showed concerns about academic integrity and the reliability of ChatGPT-generated information, revealing the need for a balanced strategy toward AI integration into educational contexts. The study supports the informed and careful integration of tools such as ChatGPT into language instruction and assessment to offer enhanced experiences and subsequently contribute to the discourse on AI in education.
