## 5 Conclusions  
The inclusion of technology in language teaching has been widely examined in the literature, either by looking at its impact or at perceptions of its beneficiaries. However, very few of these technologies are adaptive to the specific needs of language learners. With recent developments in the field of AI, this has become possible, offering learners educational programmes that target their specific weaknesses. It is likely to be highly impactful, especially in the Arab EFL context, where the concept of adaptive learning is novel.  
Throughout the results, it was evident that EFL learners at the Saudi Electronic University had a positive experience of using the adaptive learning platform, Area9. This finding should influence stakeholders and policymakers at the Ministry of Education to develop AI for use in teaching foreign languages, leading to a more personalised learning experience. Thus, it is anticipated to enhance learning quality because the content introduced would be generated according to learners' needs.
