Perceived AI interactivity and Chinese EFL learners' motivated learning behaviors: the moderating role of daily AI usage duration.

ABSTRACT: The integration of Artificial intelligence (AI) tools in language education has reshaped learners' perceptions and behavioral responses. While earlier studies have examined the cognitive and affective effects of learners' perceived AI interactivity (PAII), less is known about its influence on motivated behavioral engagement. Motivated learning behaviors (MLBs) are crucial for sustained language learning. Accordingly, this study investigated how four dimensions of PAII predict MLBs among 171 Chinese English as a foreign language (EFL) learners, and whether daily AI usage duration (DAIUD) moderates these effects. Participants completed a validated questionnaire measuring PAII, MLBs, and DAIUD. Statistical results indicated that all four PAII dimensions significantly and positively predicted
