  KEYWORDS: High School English Teachers, Acceptance of Artificial Intelligence, Influencing Factors, Mixed Research

  ABSTRACT: Based on the “Teacher AI Competence Framework” newly released by UNESCO in 2024, this study uses a mixed research method combining questionnaire survey and in-depth interview to explore the acceptance of the application of AI in high school English teaching and its influencing factors among 129 high school English teachers who participated in a teacher training organized by a district in Zhejiang Province. The results show that the overall acceptance of AI among high school English teachers is above the average level, but there are structural differences among the five dimensions of the AI Competency Framework. This study provides a new theoretical perspective for the mixed study of language teachers’ technology acceptance, and provides a reference for relevant policy formulation, curriculum reform and teacher training.
