This article examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools into second language (L2) writing instruction. AI technologies, including automated feedback systems, grammar and style checkers, and adaptive writing platforms, provide learners with immediate, personalized support and guidance in their writing process. The study aims to explore how AI tools can enhance learners’ writing skills, promote self-regulation, and increase motivation in L2 learning contexts. Using qualitative and descriptive methods, classroom observations, learner reflections, and analysis of writing samples were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of AI-assisted instruction. The findings indicate that AI tools improve accuracy, coherence, and overall quality of written texts while fostering learner autonomy and engagement. The study underscores the pedagogical potential of AI technologies as valuable supplements to traditional writing instruction in second language education.
