This article investigates the use of ChatGPT in English Language Teaching (ELT) in Morocco. It explores the opportunities and challenges associated with implementing it as a tool to enhance English language learning for Moroccan students, employing a mixed-methods approach. A questionnaire was administered to 62 ELT teachers in Morocco, and 12 interviews were conducted to validate and enrich the data. Findings shed light on the opportunities that ChatGPT offers in Moroccan ELT, including personalized learning, instant feedback, teachers’ professional development enhancement, and access to authentic language resources. However, the study identified challenges such as concerns about accuracy, cultural appropriateness, and excessive reliance on technology. The study informs ELT instructors and educational stakeholders in Morocco about the potential advantages and limitations of incorporating AI-based conversational agents like ChatGPT into ELT practices and promotes informed decision-making and effective integration of technology in language learning contexts.
