Between Innovation and Tradition: The Impact of AI on Literature Education

The integration of AI is a central consideration in English-medium instruction. This research investigates the improvement of integrating AI in the literary study field. The study utilizes a qualitative research method that examines 30 postgraduate students and reflects on their experiences using AI tools in learning literature. The data of this study was gathered through interviews with 30 students who specialized in English literature, and the aim was to investigate the influence of using AI on their understanding of literature. The results of this study indicate that AI helps improve students' analysis of literary texts and presents innovative strategies to engage with them, and that allows students to maintain genuine literary interpretation. Notwithstanding, the study brings to light ethical concerns like academic integrity and the challenge of extensively relying on AI interpretation. The study concludes that AI can be a valuable resource for active interaction with literature while keeping a critical awareness of its challenging implementation.
