Abstract. The integration of digital tools and artificial intelligence (AI) applications in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education has significantly transformed both writing practices and assessment methods. This article examines the impact of these technological innovations on the writing process, focusing on how AIpowered applications influence learners’ writing skills, creativity, and engagement. It also explores the ways in which digital tools enable more efficient and personalized assessment methods, offering instant feedback and data-driven insights into students’ progress. Drawing from a range of studies conducted in Uzbekistan, this paper highlights the growing importance of integrating AI and digital platforms in the EFL curriculum to enhance learning outcomes. Additionally, it discusses the potential challenges, including the risk of over-reliance on technology and the need for effective teacher training to navigate these advancements. The study concludes with recommendations for optimizing the use of digital tools and AI applications to foster deeper learning in EFL classrooms.
