        abstract = {AI’s revolutionary effects on literary analysis and interpretation are at the forefront of a paradigm change in today’s English Literature teaching scenario. With the use of computational methods like sentiment analysis and natural language processing (NLP), scholars are now able to examine enormous corpora of literary texts with unprecedented speed and accuracy.  Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms can reveal obscure themes, linguistic subtleties, and hidden patterns that are invisible to conventional literary analysis techniques. This results in fresh perspectives on the composition, style, and meaning of literary works. With this computational capability, students may now investigate literary movements, authorial influences, and cultural trends in unprecedented ways, which enhances our knowledge of literature and its social importance.  Furthermore, experimental action and collaborative storytelling are revived as a result of AI’s incorporation into the creative process. With technology taking such undeniably giant steps and revolutionizing the study of English Literature the teachers of English too should be groomed adequately to guide students and help them harness the immense potential of Artificial Intelligence that can surmount traditional ICT integration strategies and benefits for a more effective and beneficial learning outcome. Hence training of teachers of English Literature and concomitantly the English teacher educators emerge as an issue of central significance.  However, there are challenges as well. This paper remains a humble attempt at exploring the new vistas and challenges that AI brings to English Literature teaching today. It would explore possibilities of integrating story-mapping, datamining, collaborative story telling in the pedagogy of English in teacher education along with some prominent ethical issues that trainee teachers should be made aware of.},
