USING AI CHATBOTS TO IMPROVE ACADEMIC WRITING IN EFL CLASSROOMS

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed educational practices, particularly in language learning environments. AI chatbots have emerged as innovative tools that can support English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in developing academic writing skills. These technologies provide instant feedback, assist in idea generation, and help students refine grammar and structure. This article examines the potential of AI chatbots in improving academic writing among EFL learners. It also discusses pedagogical benefits, challenges, and strategies for integrating AI tools into writing instruction. The findings suggest that AI chatbots can enhance writing performance and learner autonomy when used appropriately in EFL classrooms.
