Artificial Intelligence Knowledge Development

<p style="text-align: justify;">The sources of knowledge have diversified and increased due to the widespread use of the Internet and smartphones. However, this diversity requires learners to know how to deal with and obtain knowledge and the extent of their credibility and usefulness. Subsequently, they must learn language learning strategies, including Memory Strategies (MSs) and Cognitive Strategies (CSs). This study scrutinizes the employment of reading MSs and CSs mediated by selected applications and tools of Internet-Connected Smartphones (ICSs) among Saudi undergraduates in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) reading context. The study followed a quasi-experimental research design with two groups. The data was collected through a questionnaire and an achievement test. While the control group used the traditional methods of learning, the experimental group utilized their ICSs to employ reading MSs and CSs in the online learning mode after they received the necessary training. The study showed that students improved their performance in Reading Comprehension (RC) and use of reading MSs and CSs compared to their peers in the control group. The researcher recommends conducting workshops to train students on effectively employing MSs and CSs through ICSs to learn EFL reading skills.</p>
