Abstract
This study explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the "Reading for Emotion" approach to enhance abstract reasoning skills among Indonesian pre-service English teachers at UIN Cyber Syekh Nurjati Cirebon. The research addresses a critical issue in teacher education: the necessity for effective strategies that foster deeper comprehension and critical analysis of academic texts. Existing literature emphasizes the role of emotions in learning, indicating that traditional cognitive approaches may overlook essential emotional dimensions. The primary aim of this research is to examine how pre-service English teachers utilize Reading for Emotion and Aesthetics to improve their understanding and critical analysis of academic papers. This aligns with Lian (2017) and Lian (2024) that transformative learning must begin with students reflecting on their relationship with the world, rather than merely performing tasks. Using a qualitative case study method, data were gathered from 10 participants via questionnaires and 3 informants through interviews throughout the third semester. The findings indicate that emotional engagement significantly enhances students' comprehension and analytical skills, suggesting that understanding emotions is crucial for effective learning. This research contributes to the discourse on innovative pedagogical strategies in teacher education, highlighting the need for further exploration of emotional approaches in academic contexts.
