Abstract

.

The study discusses EFL students' raising awareness strategy with particular concentration on AI-based tools like Google translate in fostering new pedagogical practices especially after COVID-19 pandemic. The study examines the influence of students' awareness of using AI tools to motivate pedagogic practices through teacher-student collaboration on social media. Through the study, 208 students of native Iraqi colleges participated to discover the successfulness of Google translate as new technology. The study uses different parameters applying an independent t-test and one-way ANOVA. The results reveal that many participants are disgruntled with pedagogic technology and only the reality finds that it is significant for their educational process. It is relied on the truth that both genders are evenly fit for educational technology post corona pandemic by using AI device. It is evidenced by Welch test showing that statistically no substantive difference exists in gender in raising awareness of students' achievement of new learning. A passive t-value shows (t= -0.45, p=0.653). Also, no substantive differences among the students from various talents in their raising awareness to learn technology relied on one-way ANOVA test indicating that p<0.05 level of performance of electronic learning after corona pandemic [f (5,127) =3.714, p=0.004]. This experimental research concluded that a completely innovative education may not be fit for all kinds of students by applying AI tools. University teachers must realize these affairs and supply suitable resolutions to progress students' technological performance in education. The test shows that applying Google translate for raising awareness extends students’ future outlook through new trends in teaching-learning autonomy.
