Authors : Meddah Mohamed . Amel Belmihoub .

Abstract

This paper investigates the role of AI-enhanced instruction in reducing miscommunication among EFL students. The research involved 60 students from M'sila University, divided into control and experimental groups. Using a quasi-experimental design and a Discourse Completion Task (DCT), the experimental group received AI-enhanced pragmatics instruction. The results showed significant improvement in students’ pragmatic awareness. These findings highlight the pedagogical value of AI-enhanced instruction. It is recommended that AI-enhanced pragmatics instruction be systematically integrated into EFL learning environments.
