Academic writing is a challenging process that requires a coherent expression of ideas, logical reasoning, and data-driven arguments. The implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into academic writing has become important in recent years. The research paper examines the attitudes of English as a foreign language (EFL) learners toward AI language processing tools for academic writing. The authors aim to address the following question: What do Ukrainian EFL learners think about using AI to enhance their academic writing skills? This study aims to bridge the gap between scientific findings on Ukrainian EFL learners’ preferences and their actual use of AI language processing tools in academic writing tasks. To collect research data, online tools (Google Forms) were used and processed via a quantitative method. The second-year students training to become interpreters in the MA program (Philology, Germanic languages, literature (including translation), first foreign language – English) were the focus of the research. The findings suggest that Ukrainian EFL students have positive perceptions of using AI writing tools. The learners also report using AI language processing tools to provide ideas for their writing and to facilitate the composition of essays and paragraphs. The study is significant in promoting the broader use of AI tools for teaching English for Academic Purposes, as well as in identifying and addressing effective teaching techniques and methods.
