This paper investigates the use of AI in assisting language test design by pre-service teachers (PSTs), who often require such support due to their limited experience in this area. Nine PSTs participated in the study after completing their language test design assessment. They were asked to complete a survey on their use of AI in language test design and to provide written reflections on these practices. An analysis of their reflections revealed the complexity involved in using AI for language test design, rang-ing from creating question items to transforming written texts into oral formats for assessing different language skills. Furthermore, the study highlights concerns regarding the validity and reliability of AI-generated tests, particularly when these tests do not align with the curriculum or account for contextual conditions. Recommendations were provided to help PSTs make effective use of technology in support-ing their teaching and learning, particularly in language test design.
