This paper sought to investigate the effectiveness of paraphrasing tools, particularly Ginger and TextCortex, in enhancing English as a Foreign Language learners’ writing skills. Using a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design, the study involved a group of 38 pre-intermediate English level students. Pre- and post-tests based on the Cambridge B1 Preliminary Exam subsequently assessed with the MET Writing Scale were employed as instruments for data collection. Descriptive analyses indicated a significant increase in mean scores from pretest to posttest, confirming the effectiveness of paraphrasing tools in improving writing proficiency. The tools notably improved both accuracy-related subskills (spelling, punctuation, grammar, vocabulary) and communication-related subskills (organization, coherence, style, register) across eight interventions. Essentially, the research offers compelling evidence that paraphrasing tools like Ginger and TextCortex are valuable resources for enhancing the writing abilities of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. The findings suggest that these tools not only improve linguistic accuracy but also foster better organization and coherence in writing, ultimately aiding in the overall enhancement of writing skills in English as a foreign language environment. The implications of the study highlight the potential of integrating these tools into language education to support and transform students’ writing skills.
