The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly influenced educational practices, particularly in the field of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Among the various language skills, writing remains one of the most challenging for EFL learners due to its complex cognitive and linguistic demands. In recent years, AI-based tools such as automated grammar checkers, intelligent writing assistants, and AI-powered feedback systems have been increasingly integrated into EFL writing instruction. This article examines the impact of AI-based tools on EFL students’ writing accuracy, focusing on their potential to enhance grammatical correctness, lexical choice, and overall writing quality.
