This study examines how digital writing tools address the emotional and linguistic challenges Saudi EFL learners face. Survey results from 50 EFL learners revealed that these tools significantly reduce writing anxiety and boost confidence, making writing less stressful. Learners also noted improved grammar, vocabulary, and structural accuracy, enabling them to focus on clarity and coherence. However, limitations exist, such as the tools’ inability to replace instructor-led feedback in fostering creativity and critical thinking. The findings emphasize the need for a balanced integration of digital tools with traditional methods to effectively address emotional and linguistic barriers. Future research should explore their long-term impact, cultural adaptability, and potential for AI-driven personalized learning. Writing in a foreign language often triggers anxiety, frustration, and low confidence, hindering learners’ progress. Digital tools provide instant feedback, error correction, and vocabulary enhancement, fostering emotional resilience and improving writing skills.
