Description
With the rise of AI writing tools such as Grammarly, Write & Improve, and ChatGPT, EFL learners today have unprecedented opportunities to receive immediate feedback and practice writing independently. However, without guidance, students may become overly reliant on AI or struggle to distinguish between human-like expression and machine-generated language. This poster presentation introduces a practical framework for using AI as a supportive tool rather than a substitute for thinking. The poster highlights three core components: (1) a curated list of accessible AI tools for writing self-practice; (2) a set of learner-friendly writing templates and prompts to promote critical engagement with AI suggestions; and (3) a mini-guide to training students to recognize the differences between machine-generated texts and natural human writing, focusing on tone, coherence, and context awareness. Classroom-based observations and student reflections indicate that this structured approach helps learners improve grammatical accuracy, expand vocabulary, and develop self-editing skills while preserving authenticity in expression. This poster provides teachers with tangible resources to integrate AI into writing instruction responsibly and offers strategies to foster learner autonomy, digital literacy, and language ownership in the age of artificial intelligence.
