The subject of the research is the methodology of creating and didactically applying a graphic neuro-novel — an interactive creolized hypertext built on generative neural networks based on a literary work in the foreign language being studied. The object of the research is the process of teaching English reading to B1-level students. The aim of the work is to develop, scientifically substantiate and experimentally test an original methodology of using a graphic neuro-novel in teaching foreign language reading. The study employs methods of instructional design (ADDIE), theoretical analysis of pedagogical literature, pedagogical observation, and a formative pedagogical experiment involving 54 students of non-linguistic specialities. The experiment was conducted during two semesters of the 2025–2026 academic year and included pre- and post-testing of receptive and productive-reproductive speech skills. Statistically significant differences were obtained between the control and experimental groups (Student's t-test, p " 0.05), confirming the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. The scientific novelty consists in the development and testing of an original methodology for integrating the graphic neuro-novel into the system of work with an authentic literary text at three traditional stages (pre-reading, while-reading, post-reading), as well as in describing new techniques of "engagement" and "immersion" of the reader into an authentic linguocultural environment by means of artificial intelligence. The results complement CALL (Computer-Assisted Language Learning) theory in the part of AI-CALL — teaching a foreign language based on generative neural networks, and open prospects for further research in higher education pedagogy.
