This study aimed to investigate learners' self-regulated language learning (SRLL) with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) using a mixed-method research design. The study also aimed to explore gender, high-school type, and department differences in participants' SRLL with ICT. The data was collected from 133 participants in the Foreign Languages School at a state university in Turkey. Descriptive analysis, independent t-test, and ANOVA were used to analyze the quantitative data, while semi-structured interview questions were used to collect qualitative data. The results of the study revealed that gender did not have a significant effect on participants' SRLL with ICT, but there was a significant difference in the use of ICT tools across departments and school type. The study also highlighted the potential benefits of using ICT devices in language learning, such as improving learners' attitudes and success in language learning. The findings suggest that language instructors can use ICT devices to enhance learners' self-regulated language learning practices and tailor their teaching strategies to meet the specific needs of learners in different departments. This study also sheds light on the significance of incorporating ICT tools in language learning and the importance of considering departmental differences when designing language courses.
