The article examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT on teaching writing in foreign language education. While offering benefits such as personalized feedback and content generation, AI poses significant challenges to academic integrity, student autonomy, and the development of critical thinking skills. The study analyzes the rise of AI-plagiarism and the potential devaluation of writing as a cognitive skill. Arguing against prohibition, it advocates for the controlled and ethical integration of AI into the curriculum. Methodological recommendations are provided, including the revision of assessment formats and the promotion of process-oriented writing.
