    An Investigation of the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Promoting EFL Learners’ Self-regulated Learning Skills: The Case of Master’s Students at the Department of English at MMUTO
    (Mouloud Mammeri University, 2023) Lacete Kamelia; Chelli Lynda
    Algerian EFL learners, like their counterparts across the globe, embrace the technological advancements which are marking our era, notably artificial intelligence. In this regard, the present study probes into the role of AI in promoting self-regulated learning skills, particularly cognition and metacognition, of EFL learners enrolled in a Master’s degree in language studies at the Department of English at Mouloud Mammeri University of Tizi- Ouzou. This research seeks two main objectives. First, it aims to investigate the way these students cognitively engage with AI to perform academic tasks. Second, it attempts to measure the extent to which this technology assists them to metacognize about their performances. To meet these aims, this research builds upon Zimmerman’s Cyclical Model of Self-regulated Learning (2000) and adopts a mixed-methods approach. A questionnaire and the think-aloud protocol have been designed to collect data that have been analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis and qualitative content analysis. The findings reveal that students cognitively engage using AI by analyzing their tasks, designing plans, setting goals and self-reacting to their performances; they also demonstrate that AI helps students in metacognition to a considerable extent. Ultimately, the findings suggest that AI helps EFL learners to regulate their learning.
