        abstract = {Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way teaching and learning take place across the world. In English Language and Literature classrooms, AI tools such as writing assistants, chatbots and text generators are now being used to support students in reading, writing and analysis. This paper explores the idea of algorithmic literacy, which refers to the ability to understand how AI systems work and to think critically about the content they produce. The study explains how AI tools can be used in English teaching to improve language skills and deepen literary understanding. At the same time, it highlights the risks of over-dependence on AI and the importance of maintaining originality and critical thinking. The paper uses a qualitative and conceptual approach to show how algorithmic literacy can be included in English classrooms. It also explains how critical thinking and Bloom's Taxonomy can guide the use of AI in learning. The study concludes that AI should be used carefully and thoughtfully so that it supports, rather than replaces, human thinking and creativity.},
