In recent years, the integration of AI generative tools in education has seen a significant surge, transforming traditional teaching and learning paradigms. The present study aimed to uncover the narratives of English Teachers in the use of AI generative tools using qualitative research design, the study explored the narratives of English teachers of SDO Masbate city in the use of AI generative tools along challenges, opportunities and skills, and Interventions. After the analysis of data, results revealed that Dependence on AI and Plagiarism, Technology and Connectivity, Responsibility and Impact & Integrity were the most prevailing challenges of using AI generative tools. While Creativity and Critical Thinking, Efficiency and Productivity, and vocabulary were the opportunities that are present in the use of AI. It was also revealed that skills such as Adaptability & Integration, Efficient Resource Management, and Innovation were enhanced. It was also found out that teachers handle challenges through responsible use, Ethical consideration & regulation and preservation of traditional method. Trainings, Workshops, and Support from DepEd and improvements in the facilities were the interventions proposed. The findings led to the following conclusions, that challenges such as Plagiarism and Dependency on AI worsen in the advent of these Artificial Intelligence tools. Skills such as creativity and critical thinking skills can be enhanced through the use of AI. It also provides opportunities to both learners and teachers. The use of AI generative tools has its pros and cons thus the DepEd should equip the teaching force to maximize its cons.
