Leveraging Artificial Intelligence for Self-Regulated Learning in EFL Presentation Skill Acquisition: Learner Perceptions and Practices

2025-05-29T09:30:51+00:00

The development of effective presentation skills is crucial for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in academic and professional contexts. This complex skill necessitates not only linguistic proficiency but also strategic self-regulation. With the rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into language education, understanding how EFL learners leverage these tools for self-regulated learning (SRL) in developing presentation skills has become paramount. This study investigates the priorities and utilization patterns of AI-enhanced SRL among EFL learners focused on improving their presentation abilities. Employing a qualitative research design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with university-level EFL students. Thematic analysis revealed that learners prioritize AI tools for enhancing linguistic accuracy (pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary), improving fluency, and managing public speaking anxiety. Their utilization patterns spanned across various SRL phases, from forethought (content generation, outlining) to performance (rehearsal with AI feedback) and self-reflection (analyzing AI-generated performance reports). While participants appreciated AI's accessibility, personalized feedback, and anxiety-reducing potential, challenges related to over-reliance, authenticity, and ethical considerations were also identified. These findings offer valuable insights for educators and developers regarding the pedagogical integration of AI to foster more effective and self-directed language learning environments, particularly in the realm of complex communicative skills like presentations.

Blended Learning in ESP: Combining Traditional and Digital Approaches for Economics Students

2025-06-12T18:18:41+00:00

Blended learning—the deliberate integration of face-to-face instruction with online delivery—has reshaped English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses worldwide. For economics majors, whose future professional discourse is deeply rooted in both subject-specific terminology and digital communication, a carefully balanced blend can enhance language mastery while fostering transferable digital literacy. Drawing on recent systematic reviews, needs-analysis studies, and classroom interventions, the present article examines how a blended ESP model can be designed, implemented, and evaluated in undergraduate economics programmes. Using a mixed-method, semester-long study with 124 second-year economics students, we investigated learning outcomes, student engagement, and perceived usefulness of digital tools such as Learning Management Systems, adaptive language platforms, and data-driven tasks based on authentic economic texts. Findings show statistically significant gains in receptive and productive ESP skills, heightened learner autonomy, and positive attitudes toward the digital component, without diminishing the perceived value of in-class interaction. Challenges identified include uneven digital competence and the need for sustained instructional design support. Recommendations emphasise iterative curricular alignment, targeted teacher professional development, and systematic evaluation to refine the blend.
