چکیده :

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into language education has created new opportunities for learners to engage in English language learning through flexible, individualized, and accessible learning experiences. Although previous research has increasingly examined the linguistic and educational benefits of AI-assisted language learning, less attention has been paid to its potential psychological and social benefits, particularly among adult EFL learners. This study investigated the relationship between AI-assisted English language learning and psychological well-being among adult EFL learners aged 30 and above. A quantitative correlational research design was employed with 100 adult EFL learners. Participants completed measures assessing their experiences with AI-assisted English language learning, social connectedness, and psychological well-being. The study examined whether learners’ experiences with AI-assisted English language learning were significantly associated with their psychological well-being and whether social connectedness was related to psychological well-being. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the extent to which AI-assisted English language learning and social connectedness predicted psychological well-being. The results indicated a significant positive relationship between AI-assisted English language learning and psychological well-being. Social connectedness was also significantly and positively associated with psychological well-being. Furthermore, AI-assisted English language learning and social connectedness jointly significantly predicted psychological well-being, with social connectedness emerging as the stronger predictor. These findings suggest that AI-assisted English language learning may offer benefits beyond linguistic development by potentially supporting adult learners’ psychological and social well-being. The findings may have implications for the development of more supportive, accessible, and psychologically beneficial AI-assisted English language learning environments for adult learners.
