INTEGRATING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INTO ESL WRITING CLASSROOM: Concepts, Practices, and Future Directions
Keywords:
english language, artificial intelligence, writing, digital pedagogy, curriculum designSynopsis
This book explores the transformative intersection between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and English as a Second Language (ESL) writing pedagogy, offering a comprehensive framework for educators navigating this rapidly evolving landscape. It argues that AI’s emergence marks not a supplementary shift but a pedagogical imperative, redefining how writing is taught, learned, and assessed. Through theoretical grounding in Constructivism, Sociocultural Theory, and Connectivism, the text examines AI’s potential as both a cognitive scaffold and a collaborative partner in the writing process. The work highlights critical themes such as digital literacy, ethical engagement, and the redefinition of authorship in an AI-saturated world. Practical chapters provide an applied taxonomy of AI tools from grammar assistants to generative Large Language Models (LLMs) and propose strategies for curriculum design that cultivate students’ critical thinking, authenticity, and ethical use of technology. Integrating research and classroom praxis, this book positions AI not as a threat to writing instruction but as a catalyst for renewing it, empowering educators to develop learners who are critically aware, ethically responsible, and technologically literate communicators for the 21st century.
