The Impact of Using Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (GPT)on Advancing Creative Writing Skills in Literature Course for Undergraduate Students in Algeria

Abstract

The present study investigates the impact of Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) technology on creative writing skills (CWS) among undergraduate literature students in Algeria. Using a mixed- methods approach, the study explores how integrating GPT into literature courses influences students’ ability to employ figures of language and literary devices in their narratives. The findings revealed that the use of GPT significantly enhanced the ability to describe settings in creative writing (CW).Qualitatively, GPT enriched narrative development and offered new perspectives in storytelling. The study suggests that usingGPT as a pedagogical tool can provide qualitative educational benefits, encouraging further research into AI-assisted learning strategies in higher education.
