Abstract
Abstract The integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) into foreign language writing instruction has brought about human-AI co-regulation, in which textual production arises from learner-algorithm interaction. Investigating how learners regulate their writing processes in GenAI-mediated environments becomes necessary because existing self-regulated learning (SRL) frameworks were developed for human-centered teaching methods. These frameworks may not fully capture the regulatory complexities when GenAI affects text production. We examined SRL within GenAI-supported writing conte
