The research aims to explore how generative AI affects student engagement in project-based learning in an EFL context.
Mixed-methods study design
Quantitative data from pre- and post-intervention questionnaires on engagement dimensions
Qualitative data from open-ended survey responses
Participants were 38 undergraduate students from a general English course
High-proficiency students initially showed higher engagement scores, but differences became insignificant post-test
Significant engagement gains were observed only among low-proficiency students
No significant gender-based differences in engagement dimensions at post-test
Qualitative data indicated reduced linguistic anxiety and increased active participation due to AI tools
