Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education offers new opportunities to transform Indonesian language learning and promote sustainable literacy. This study aims to examine the implementation of AI-based pedagogy in enhancing students^ literacy skills at the university level. A qualitative case study design was employed in an Indonesian language course. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with lecturers and students, and analysis of AI-supported learning materials. The data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns in teaching practices and student learning experiences. The results show that AI-based pedagogy increases student engagement, supports personalized learning, and improves critical and creative writing skills. The use of AI tools provides immediate feedback, enabling students to refine their language use more effectively. In addition, students demonstrate better ability to relate language learning to social and sustainability contexts. However, challenges such as limited digital competence among lecturers and ethical concerns in AI usage were also identified. In conclusion, AI-based pedagogy has strong potential to transform Indonesian language learning in higher education and to foster sustainable literacy in line with global educational goals.
