Keywords:
artificial intelligence, writing skills, AI-assisted learning, automated feedback, academic writing, language education, digital literacy.Abstract
Artificial intelligence plays an increasingly significant role in developing writing skills in modern education. This article examines the potential of AI-powered tools to improve grammatical accuracy, vocabulary, coherence, and academic writing proficiency. The study analyzes existing research on automated writing evaluation, personalized feedback, and generative AI applications. The findings indicate that artificial intelligence can support independent learning, facilitate text revision, and enhance students’ writing performance. However, excessive reliance on AI may negatively affect creativity and critical thinking. The article emphasizes the importance of integrating AI technologies with teacher guidance, ethical considerations, and independent writing practice to ensure effective learning outcomes
