• Abstract: Recent advances in Generative AI (GenAI) are transforming multiple aspects of society, including education and foreign language learning. In the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), significant research has been conducted to investigate the applicability of GenAI as a learning aid and the potential negative impacts of new technologies. Critical questions remain about the future of AI, including whether improvements will continue at such a pace or stall and whether there is a true benefit to implementing GenAI in education, given the myriad costs and potential for negative impacts. Apart from the ethical conundrums that GenAI presents in EFL education, there is growing consensus that learners and teachers must develop AI literacy skills to enable them to use and critically evaluate the purposes and outputs of these technologies. However, there are few formalised frameworks available to support the integration and development of AI literacy skills for EFL learners. In this article, we demonstrate how the use of a general, all-purposes framework (the AI Assessment Scale) can be tailored to the EFL writing and translation context, drawing on existing empirical research validating the scale and adaptations to other contexts, such as English for Academic Purposes. We begin by engaging with the literature regarding GenAI and EFL writing and translation, prior to explicating the use of three levels of the updated AIAS for structuring EFL writing instruction which promotes academic literacy and transparency and provides a clear framework for students and teachers.
