Abstract

Abstract This research is based on the need for innovation in literary learning, especially creative writing in the digital era. Students of the PBSI Study Program at Palangka Raya University face challenges such as low motivation to write, limited stimulus media, and lack of free expression of ideas. In this context, SUNO AI—an artificial intelligence-based platform capable of converting text into audio or music—was introduced as a creative, imaginative, and multimodal learning medium. SUNO AI is believed to be able to bring students' literary works to life, increase their confidence, and develop their digital literacy. This research is important to assess the pedagogical and transformative impact of AI technology in literary learning in college. The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation of SUNO AI in learning literary creative writing in the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program, as well as to examine the impact of its use on increasing motivation, and the quality of students' literary works. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with the type of classroom action research (PTK) and exploratory case studies to explore in depth the process, response, and impact of the use of SUNO AI in learning literary creative writing in the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program (PBSI) University of Palangka Raya. The research subjects were second-semester students who programmed the Literary Creative Writing course, totaling 23 people. Data was collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, documentation of work, and student response questionnaires. The instruments used included observation sheets, interview guides, Likert scale questionnaires, as well as text, audio, and video documentation. This research was carried out in two cycles which included the stages of planning, action, observation, and reflection to evaluate and improve the implementation of SUNO AI in the Literary Creative Writing class. The results of the study show that the implementation of SUNO AI in learning Literary Creative Writing at the PBSI Study Program, University of Palangka Raya involved 23 students in the second semester through two cycles of PTK which resulted in a positive impact on enthusiasm, creativity, motivation, and quality of literary works. In the first cycle, students were introduced to the feature of converting text into audio or music so that works that were originally only in the form of text became more lively. The second cycle emphasizes revision based on lecturer and peer feedback, which creates interactive, reflective, and multimodal learning.
