Abstract
Objectives: The study aims to explore the effects of the Poe AI-based program on enhancing EFL vocabulary learning of Saudi foundation year students and their interests.
Methods: I designed two instruments to gather the research data: an EFL vocabulary knowledge pre/post-test and an interest pre/post-scale for assessing their vocabulary knowledge and interest level in learning it.
Results: The statistical analysis of the research data proved that EFL Saudi foundation year students enhanced their vocabulary learning and interests due to the Poe AI-based program. There was a positive relationship between EFL vocabulary learning and students' interest in learning it.
Conclusions: Utilizing the Poe AI-based program positively affected vocabulary learning and interests.
Implications: There is a need for future studies to investigate the effects of Poe on university students’ critical thinking, and 21st century skills.
