Teaching Literature with Artificial Intelligence explores the use of chatbots as participants in the teaching and learning of literature in high school and college classrooms while highlighting potentially outmoded norms and expectations of ELA instruction.Artificial intelligence programs have profoundly altered the daily realities of teachers and students, inspiring concern and opportunity alike.Thought-provoking, theoretically grounded, and full of replicable autoethnographic experiments, this book offers real-world examples of generative chatbot technologies in ELA classrooms, positioning their accessibility and ubiquity as an incentive for critiquing and enriching traditional teaching and learning approaches.Graduate students, teaching faculty, and scholars of teacher education, English and literature education, digital literacies, and learning design will come away with a sharp critique of the purported affordances of chatbots as well as an incisive demonstration of AI as a classroom tool that supports, rather than diminishes, the meaningful learning, critical thinking, and agentive development of young people today.
