This study investigates the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into junior high school writing instruction to enhance student engagement. AI tools, such as chatbots and natural language processing (NLP) systems, offer personalized feedback, creative prompts, and support, aligning with motivational theories. Through a mixed-methods approach, the study examines the impact of AI on student motivation, writing skills, and overall engagement. Findings indicate that AI significantly improves student engagement by providing timely feedback, reducing anxiety, and fostering a supportive learning environment. The implications highlight AI's potential as a valuable tool for educators seeking to enhance writing outcomes.
