Overview

Mixed-methods analysis identifies factors influencing GenAI adoption and its impact on self-efficacy in EFL learners.

Key Points

  • Positive attitudes towards generative artificial intelligence predict its usage frequency in EFL learners.
  • Intrinsic motivation is negatively correlated with generative AI usage, complicating its effectiveness.
  • Younger students tend to use generative AI tools more frequently, indicating demographic usage trends.
  • Qualitative insights show that while generative AI acts as a supplementary resource, it does not significantly boost self-efficacy.
