So, this study tries to investigate the psychological impact of using Google Assistant concerning with student’s autonomy, competence, and relatedness as a learning aid among EFL students within the framework of Self-Determination Theory (SDT).

The results showed that Google Assistant as a learning aid has significantly influenced students’ autonomy, competence, and relatedness in terms of students’ pronunciation, confidence, motivation, and reducing anxiety. These findings implied that integrating voice-based AI aids can be beneficial for learning speaking such as pronunciation instruction, especially for learners with high anxiety or low confidence. To conclude, Google Assistant can serve as an effective interactive pronunciation coach in learning speaking.
