This article examines pedagogical approaches to integrating artificial intelligence (AI)
into the teaching of writing competence at the tertiary level. As AI writing tools become
increasingly sophisticated and accessible, the study highlights the need for coherent pedagogical
frameworks that balance technological use with academic integrity and authentic writing
development. It proposes a taxonomy of four approaches: AI-assisted scaffolding, AI-human
collaborative writing, critical AI literacy integration, and process-oriented AI mediation. Based on
data from 180 university students, the study evaluates the impact of these approaches on linguistic
accuracy, compositional quality, learner autonomy, and metacognitive awareness. The findings
demonstrate that integrated, guided uses of AI combined with explicit strategy instruction yield
the most effective outcomes.
