Abstract

In this era of Artificial Intelligence (AI), its integration into English writing in Second Language Acquisition has long been a research hot spot of numerous scholars all over the world. However, previous studies generally focus on investigating and assessing its present applications instead of adopting a comprehensive view. To help fill the research gap, this study examines the current usage of AI in the learning of English writing, explores the problems and obstacles students encounter, and provides feasible solutions to its defects. The result indicates that apart from bringing multiple benefits to learners, AI has also generated various problems mostly characterized by declining creative learning, weakened social connection, and menaced confidential information. On account of the existing problems, this study propounds that there is an urgent need for improvement, including revolutionizing AI's internal mechanism, modifying the criteria for English writing evaluation, and installing more advanced systems for surveillance and individualized learning.
