| description | This study explores how artificial intelligence (AI) technologies can be theoretically integrated into literature curriculum development, using the works of Anton Chekhov and Lu Xun as illustrative case texts. The aim is to reduce barriers to language and cultural understanding in literature education and increase the efficiency and accessibility of cross-cultural teaching. We used natural language processing (NLP) techniques to analyze textual features, such as readability index, lexical density, and syntactic complexity, of AI-generated and human-translated “The Chameleon” and “A Madman’s Diary”. Teaching cases from universities in China, Russia, and Kazakhstan are reviewed to assess the emerging practice of AI-supported literature teaching. The proposed theoretical framework draws on hermeneutics, posthumanism, and cognitive load theories. The results of the data-driven analysis suggest that AI-assisted translation tends to simplify sentence structure and improve surface readability. While anecdotal classroom observations highlight the role of AI in initial comprehension, deeper literary interpretation still relies on teacher guidance and critical human engagement. This study introduces a conceptual “AI Literature Teaching Model” that positions AI as a cognitive and cultural mediator and outlines directions for future empirical validation. |
