Abstract

The use of the metaverse may provide unique opportunities for teaching and learning a foreign language depending on teachers' pedagogical, personal, and linguistic skills; competencies; technical knowledge and skills; beliefs; attitudes; and perceptions. However, a serious lack of research exists on English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers' perceptions of and attitudes toward its utilization in the teaching and learning processes. The current study investigates foreign language teachers' perceived knowledge about the metaverse, attitudes toward the use of the metaverse in the teaching and learning process, perceived self-confidence in integrating the metaverse into their teaching pedagogy, and perceptions of school climate and support concerning the metaverse use. The results showed that EFL teachers had a relatively low familiarity with its utilization in the foreign language teaching and learning processes, positive attitudes towards using it, and neutral perceptions of self-confidence in integrating the metaverse into the mentioned processes.
