Abstract

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has created new opportunities for developing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction. This study explores EFL students’ experiences in using Character.ai, an AI-based conversational tool, to improve their creative writing skills. Using case study and thematic analysis, and grounded in Zimmerman’s Self-Regulated Learning theory and Flower & Hayes’ writing process model, this study involved three EFL students aged 18–25 with at least six months of experience using the platform. The findings indicate that Character.ai supports idea generation, narrative development, vocabulary enrichment, and boosts students’ motivation and confidence in writing. However, challenges such as overreliance on AI, distraction, and cultural-context mismatch also emerged. This research provides insights into the potential and limitations of AI in creative writing instruction and offers recommendations for its reflective and strategic use in EFL contexts
