Abstract The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into language education is rapidly transforming English as a foreign (EFL) learning environments, presenting both opportunities and challenges. While AI‐supported tools offer potential benefits, they can also trigger complex test‐related emotions that may impact learners’ psychological academic well‐being. Therefore, understanding the interplay between internal resources like self‐esteem mindfulness, alongside these emotions, becomes crucial. This study investigated correlations mindfulness with test well‐being achievement among EFL learners in contexts China. To meet this purpose, quantitative approach was employed, using data collected from sample 305 university students (155 males 150 females) China selected through stratified random sampling. analysis conducted via confirmatory factor structural equation modelling SMART PLS software. results indicated were strong predictors wellness achievement. Higher levels linked to higher These findings stress necessity incorporating socio‐emotional skills AI‐enhanced learning, considering students’ when deploying AI designing interventions address emotional challenges within environments.
