Hope and fear in AI-based language teaching: opportunities, challenges, and emotions.
Article in BMC psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into second and foreign language (L2) education has increased significantly; however, its emotional impact on teachers remains underexplored, particularly in less commonly taught languages (LCTL) such as Turkish. This qualitative exploratory case study examines the perceptions, experiences, and emotional responses of 17 Turkish as a Foreign Language (TFL) teachers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis assisted by MAXQDA 24 software, grounded in Pekrun's Control-Value Theory (CVT). Findings reveal a nuanced landscape where AI acts as a "pedagogical co-instructor." Teachers reported predominantly positive emotional responses, including feeling motivational (42.31%) and developer/beneficial (34.62%), while a minority expressed fear (7.69%) and suspicion (3.85%). These emotions are linked to perceived pedagogical control and the "English-centric" bias of current AI tools. The study concludes that successful AI integration in TFL requires balancing technological efficiency with human-centered cultural nuances.
