Abstract
In recent years, technology has changed significantly. Since ChatGPT and generative AI (AI) were introduced to the public two years ago, it has created a significant impact on different sectors, including education. Educators are put in the situation where they have to decide their approach toward these changes in the technological environment. This study aims to explore the perceptions of English lecturers in the Vietnamese context regarding the use of AI in teaching and assessment design. The qualitative research method was used, and there were ten English lecturers participated in the in-depth interview in this research. The findings of this research showed the correlation between digital competence and the level of adoption of AI in teaching and assessment design. The higher the level of digital competence is, the more AI tools are used in different stages of teaching by these lecturers. Apart from recognizing the benefits of AI, lecturers also raised concerns related to the reliability of the data and information fed by AI, the academic integrity, and ethical issues in teaching and learning. Also, lecturers in this study had a deep sense of responsibility in guiding the students so they can use it properly and ethically. There are several implications provided based on the findings of this research.
