مستخلص:In recent years, Intelligent Computer-Assisted Language Assessment (ICALA) has emerged as a transformative approach in language education, leveraging technology to enhance student assessment and learning processes. Despite its growing importance, there is a scarcity of research investigating the connections among needs satisfaction, teacher support, L2 learning experience, willingness to communicate, and academic motivation—factors that play a crucial role in students’ academic performance in this context. This study addressed the lack of knowledge by examining the impact of needs satisfaction and teacher support among Omani students enrolled in English as a foreign language (EFL) classes. The structural equation modeling data via SMART PLS revealed a positive correlation between needs satisfaction, L2 learning experience, increased willingness to communicate, and academic motivation in ICALA. Furthermore, teacher support positively impacted willingness to communicate, academic motivation, and L2 learning experience. The results facilitate fostering needs satisfaction and teacher support in ICALA and contribute to our understanding of the connections between these variables. A more in-depth discussion is held regarding the significance of the study for educational practices.
