The integration of self-regulated learning (SRL) with Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has the potential to significantly enhance language learning by providing tools for independent study. However, there is a limited understanding of how EFL learners effectively utilize SRL strategies in conjunction with ICTs to improve their speaking skills. The main objective of this research is to investigate the use of SRL cognitive strategies and ICTs among EFL learners to enhance their speaking proficiency. This qualitative phenomenological study employed semi-structured interviews to gather data on learners’ experiences and practices. The interviews were analyzed using IN VIVO coding to identify categories and themes directly from the participants' own words. Results indicate that learners leverage SRL strategies such as repetition, translation, self-correction, and spoken interaction, alongside various ICT tools, to improve their fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, spoken grammar, and accent. These findings highlight the significant, often unconscious, impact of SRL strategies and digital tools on the enhancement of speaking skills. In conclusion, the study underscores the crucial role of SRL and ICTs in optimizing EFL speaking proficiency, suggesting a step-by-step approach for learners to effectively utilize these resources for language development.
