This paper explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology into English writing instruction, focusing on a case study of the Zhanjiang Marine Culture course at Zhanjiang Preschool Education College. The study addresses common challenges in traditional English writing teaching, such as limited resources and lack of personalized instruction, and demonstrates how AI can provide substantial benefits. AI technology enhances teaching by generating diverse multimodal resources and model essays, offering personalized feedback, and supporting creative and critical thinking. The case study reveals that AI significantly enriches teaching materials, supports individualized learning, and improves students’ writing skills and cross-cultural communication abilities. By leveraging AI, the course provides a richer learning experience, fosters higher-order thinking, and introduces innovative teaching methods. This study highlights the potential of AI to transform English writing instruction and offers new approaches for enhancing educational practices.
