Abstract
The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in an educational context has greatly impacted language acquisition, especially for students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). This research examines the effects of AI-powered writing tools, including Grammar, QuillBot, and ChatGPT, on the enhancing English writing abilities among EFL learners. Utilizing both qualitative and quantitative data from 160 EFL students, the study investigates how these technologies aid in correcting grammar, expanding vocabulary, improving coherence, and providing feedback. The findings reveal that while AI tools significantly contribute to writing skill development, they also pose challenges related to overreliance and reduced critical thinking. The study suggests that when combined with teaching strategies, AI tools can effectively support EFL writing instruction.
