The Active Learning–GenAI Synergy Framework: Ethical Integration of Generative AI in EFL/ESL Writing in Resource-Constrained Contexts

The paper provides a practical model for embedding AI tools in collaborative-learning settings while upholding academic integrity through a disciplined process of ethical reflection. The findings challenge the presumption that technology alone drives educational improvement, demonstrating instead that it is the pedagogical structures mediating AI interaction that determine an effective and ethical educational process.
