| Sumario: | The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) for learning personalization has emerged as an approach to address diverse learner needs. This quantitative correlational study examined the relationship between the perceived value of AI-assisted differentiated instruction and task motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic) among first-year English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students at Batna-2 University. A convenience sample of 120 students participated in the study, completing a questionnaire measuring perceived value of AI-assisted differentiated instruction and task motivation in EFL writing. Descriptive statistics revealed moderate levels of perceived value and task motivation. Pearson correlation analysis indicated a significant positive correlation between perceived value of AI-assisted differentiated instruction and overall task motivation. Additionally, separate analyses showed stronger correlations with intrinsic motivation than extrinsic motivation. These findings suggest that students who perceive greater value in AI-assisted differentiated instruction demonstrate higher levels of motivation in EFL writing tasks.
