Resilience and flow are crucial in language education, yet most research focuses on formal learning environments, with limited studies their impact informal settings. This study explores the relationship between basic psychological needs engagement context of digital English (IDLE). Using a mixed-methods design, data were collected from 512 Chinese EFL learners. Structural equation modeling NVivo analysis applied to quantitative qualitative data, respectively. The findings reveal that resilience fully mediates engagement, serving as an adaptability enhancer, persistence promoter, stress buffer, self-efficacy builder, emotional regulation facilitator. Conversely, partially this relationship, though perceived competence does not significantly predict context. Building this, contributes intrinsic motivation driver, positive cycle creator, external pressure mitigator, efficiency enhancer. underscores important role IDLE among university students. By highlighting these mediating roles, provides valuable insights for enhancing effectiveness experiences, contributing broader discourse education age.

Informal English learning plays a crucial role in vocabulary learning, yet few scholars have explored the use of large language models for this purpose. In light this, our study, integrating Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Unified Acceptance Use Technology (UTAUT), employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to investigate factors influencing 568 Chinese learners’ learning. Our findings identified six significant from those models—perceived autonomy, perceived competence, relatedness, performance expectancy, effort social influence—that significantly shape intentions behaviors towards utilizing Notably, expectancy emerged as most influential factor, while facilitating conditions did not impact usage intentions.
