Authors : Mouas Samia .

Abstract

The present study explores Algerian university EFL students’ motivation, familiarity, and perceptions regarding AI-powered tools in English language learning. Using a quantitative survey of 360 students, mostly at the Master’s level, the research found high motivation to use AI tools, with 87.7% reporting moderate to high motivation. Familiarity with AI was varied but generally positive, and language learning apps and AI writing assistants were the most frequently used tools. No significant gender differences were found in AI tool usage or perceptions, indicating similar engagement across male and female students. Participants perceived AI tools as beneficial for enhancing motivation, engagement, writing, vocabulary acquisition, and reducing anxiety, though concerns about content accuracy and data privacy were noted. These findings highlight the promising role of AI in EFL education within the Algerian context and suggest the need for further research and strategic integration of AI tools to maximize learning outcomes.
