While research documents AI applications in business student language learning and pre-service EFL teacher training with VR-AI simulation, there is no field-based evidence on implementation barriers, teacher adoption rates, institutional integration challenges, and cost-effectiveness analysis specific to sustained deployment of generative AI tools across multiple university English language education programs.

While teacher training programs have incorporated computational thinking with AI, systematic curriculum integration of AI across initial and continuing mathematics teacher education programs remains unspecified; the exact curricular pathways, competencies, and ethical frameworks to be included in teacher formation are not detailed.

The review focused exclusively on ChatGPT, constraining generalisation to other generative AI tools with varied capabilities. Future work should examine comparative effectiveness of alternative generative AI systems (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, Gemini) in programming instruction to capture differential educational impacts.
