AI-enhanced self-regulated learning: EFL learners prioritization and utilization in presentation skills development

This research investigates the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools by Indonesian EFL learners to enhance their presentation skills through self-regulated learning. With the rapid advancement of AI technologies, their integration into educational practices has become increasingly significant, particularly in developing essential skills like presentation delivery. This study aims to explore how Indonesian EFL learners prioritize specific aspects of presentation skills and how AI tools facilitate their self-regulated learning processes. Employing a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with twelve participants to gather in-depth insights into their experiences and perceptions regarding AI tools. Findings indicate that learners prioritize pronunciation clarity, persuasive topic development, fluent coherence, precise lexical usage, and grammatical accuracy as essential components for effective presentations. Participants reported valuing AI for its ability to provide personalized feedback and improve learning efficiency. This research underscores the potential of AI technologies in enhancing language learning and presentation skills, suggesting that educational practices should integrate AI-supported interventions to boost learners' competence and confidence in public speaking.
