Recent studies highlight the beneficial effects of instructional videos (IVs) and intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) on the oral development and learning attitudes of learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Despite these advances, studies investigating the combined impact Of Al-driven tutoring systems with instructional videos on EFL learners' listening and speaking skills remain sparse. This study aims to fill this research gap by employing a 15-week quasi-experimental design with 43 adult participants, divided into two groups. The experimental group (Group IVIT) utilized instructional videos integrated with an Al-driven tutoring system (iTutor), whereas the control group (Group IV) engaged with instructional videos alone. Comparative analysis demonstrated significant enhancements in listening and speaking proficiencies within Group IVIT. which notably outperformed Group IV in speaking skill development. Additionally, learners in Group IVIT reported more positive perceptions of the opportunities for speaking provided by IVIT and experienced less anxiety related to speaking tasks. These findings emphasize the significant potential of integrating intelligent tutoring systems with traditional learning modalities to accelerate language acquisition in adult EFL learners.
