Abstract


For the time being, the course of literature in language teaching can be explored in certain ways to create an impressive class. Literature looks like storage where the opinion and emotions are delivered. Teaching literature in the 21st century, where technology exaggerated, then the issue of artificial intelligence (AI) emerges supremely. This article scrutinizes to what extent the Masterpiece Generator (MG), as one of AI platforms in teaching literature, can assist students to create digital stories. This article also examines the possibilities of MG to simplify the processes of digital story writing.

This one-shot case study involved 20 English department students of UM Parepare. Those were asked to compose a digital story by applying the MG, in the meantime, they were filled with a questionnaire to describe the problem which comes up during the digital story writing process. Based on the students' digital story projects, I found some constructive results, namely time-saving, word choices provided, accessible web, ideas improvement, and writing skill enhancement. On the contrary, unfavorable experiences discovered, such as the story showed unemotional and asynchronous plot,             the words are tricky and monotone, limited story genre, and not provide accompanying pictures/images based on the story content. This research comes to an end that MG helped create a digital story, and recommends it as a valuable AI-based teaching tool.
