This paper examines EFL teachers' perceptions of TWEE, an AI-powered tool designed to assist educators in creating tasks and exams for English learners. TWEE provides a platform for developing practical language skill activities and assessments, complete with answer keys, facilitating both student evaluation and learning. The study involved online interviews with 15 EFL teachers, whose responses were transcribed and analyzed to identify key themes. The findings revealed that teachers regarded TWEE as a "magic tool" for generating diverse questions across all English language skills. They highlighted its ability to save time, produce neat outputs, and streamline the assessment process. However, the research also identified challenges associated with using TWEE, primarily dependent on how effectively teachers integrate the tool into their planning. Issues such as internet speed and technical breakdowns were noted as barriers. The study suggests addressing these obstacles and encouraging teachers to adopt TWEE more widely, emphasizing its potential to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in EFL education.
