Enhancing Learner Autonomy and Learning-to-Learn Skills through AI Literacy: An Action Research Study with Adult EAL Learners

This presentation reports findings from the 2025 Action Research program sponsored by Cambridge Assessment English and administered by English Australia. Conducted at an Australian international language school, the study investigated how learners perceive and use generative AI (GenAI) to learn accurate, context-sensitive usage of phrasal verbs (PVs). The project was designed to prepare learners for final written and spoken assessments where the accurate use of PVs was a key criterion.
