Didattica della letteratura tedesca nell'era dell'IA. Sfide etiche e opportunità didattiche per una critica consapevole

This paper addresses the lack of critical engagement by university students with literary texts, partly due to uncritical use of generative AI. It presents an innovative teaching model for a module of German L2/FL literature, integrating AI with the Identitätsorientierter Literaturunterricht method in analysing Kleist’s Penthesilea (1808). The goal is to enhance critical thinking and identity reflection through guided AI-assisted analysis, debates, and creative rewritings, while critically examining methodological benefits and ethical challenges.
