Overview

Hierarchical regression reveals that English learning confidence and digital competence predict AI-mediated learning outcomes in EFL students.

Key Points

  • English learning confidence is the strongest predictor of AI-mediated informal digital learning.
  • Sociobiographical variables like ethnicity and digital device usage significantly predict learning outcomes.
  • A refined hierarchical regression modeling method analyzed survey data from 1,012 Chinese EFL learners.
  • These findings suggest the need for pedagogical changes in AI-mediated learning environments.
