Generative AI and English Language Learning
Seven selected journal articles examine generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and related AI tools in university English learning, with a focus on writing, learner experiences, and readiness to use AI.
A selected collection, not a systematic review. Some studies examine translation and automated writing support alongside GenAI. Learner perceptions should be distinguished from demonstrated learning gains.

Archive purpose
A guide to critical reading and research.
The archive supports students, researchers, and instructors who need a structured account of empirical work on generative AI in English language learning.
Read empirical studies critically
Trace each article from research focus and method to findings, implications, and questions for further discussion.
Move from reading to research design
See how a research program develops across perception, classroom integration, learner strategy, cognitive-affective outcomes, and AI readiness.
Research themes across three publication years.
This selected collection connects research on learner perceptions, classroom practice, writing strategies, and AI readiness. Publication years organize the archive; they do not establish a longitudinal study or a progression in the same learners.
2024
Perception and classroom integration
Initial studies examine university students’ perceptions of AI-based writing tools and what changes when generative AI enters general English courses.
2025
Strategy and cognitive-affective experience
The program then investigates how students use AI across stages of EFL writing and students’ reported motivation, cognitive load, and satisfaction.
2026
Risk awareness, readiness, and strategic integration
Later studies focus on balanced use, educational support, and the capacities learners need to evaluate and direct AI-generated language.
