Abstract
Abstract: This study examines whether AI-powered tools can help secondary school students develop self-regulated learning (SRL) skills in EFL classrooms. Self-regulated learning refers to the ability of students to take control of their own learning by setting goals, planning their study, monitoring their progress, and evaluating their results. In modern language education, developing these skills is considered just as important as learning grammar or vocabulary, because students who can regulate their own learning tend to perform better and continue improving even outside the classroom. The study was conducted over eight weeks with 40 students from the 8th and 9th grades. The students were split into two groups: one group used AI tools as part of their English lessons, and the other group studied with traditional methods. Data were collected through questionnaires, classroom observations, weekly self-assessment sheets, and interviews with selected students.
