Analyzing Students’ Perceptions of Eigo.AI to Evaluate its Viability as a Supplemental Homework Component in EFL Courses

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study investigated the AI-powered language learning platform Eigo.AI over 10 weeks with three intact classes of participants (N = 62) who completed Eigo.AI lessons as homework.A mixed-methods survey addressed two research questions: (1) students' perceptions of Eigo.AI, and (2) its viability as a homework component in remedial EFL courses at Japanese universities.Several constructs, including interest, perceived benefit, usefulness, effort, and L2 confidence, were examined.Overall, participants expressed more positive sentiment than neutral, and more neutral sentiment than negative, indicating that students generally found Eigo.AI interesting and beneficial for learning English.They particularly appreciated the opportunity to practice multiple skills and receive personalized feedback.The findings suggest that Eigo.AI is a suitable homework tool not only for remedial EFL learners but potentially for students across all proficiency levels.
