Abstract. Artificial intelligence (AI) is gradually revolutionizing the instruction of the English language, but little empirical evidence exists on its application to discipline-specific English for Specific Purposes, especially among criminology students. This study aimed to explore the impact of AI-assisted English language education on the English learning achievement, second language (L2) motivation, self-regulated learning, and professional communication preparedness of Bachelor of Science in Criminology students using mixed methods. The study was designed as a pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group and compared students taking a 10-week AI-assisted English for Criminology Purposes intervention with their peers who received conventional teacher-led education. Quantitative results showed that the AI-assisted group had significantly higher gains in English learning achievement than the comparison group, and students also reported high levels of L2 motivation, self-regulated learning, and professional communication readiness after the intervention. Qualitative studies demonstrated that AI provided personalized, instant, and interactive learning support to enhance grammar, vocabulary, writing, comprehension, and professional communication and foster learner autonomy, reflection, and motivation. The findings also indicate that AI-supported language instruction can connect English language competency with discipline-specific communication needs and may facilitate the development of analytical and reasoning skills necessary to criminology education. However, competent AI use needs critical appraisal of the material produced by AI, academic honesty, ethical use, and ongoing teacher guidance. Overall, AI-assisted English for Criminology Purposes was promising as a supplementary technique to promote language competence, autonomous learning, readiness for professional communication and other academic skills of future criminology professionals.
