This study was aimed at describing phenomenon-text based information literacy in Indonesian language learning and the students' response to the teaching. The subjects were 5 lecturers of Indonesian language and 302 students of Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha (Undiksha). Data on the teaching and learning activities were collected by observation and interview, while data on the students' responses were collected by questionnaire. The result showed that phenomenon-text based information in Indonesian language teaching and learning was done in six steps: 1) communicating the phenomenon that occurred in the society (through pictures or video), 2) discussing the phenomenon, 3) reading a phenomenon text, 4) searching information from various sources, 5) writing the results of the search and 6) communicating the results. This syntax of teaching and learning was then called as six steps of phenomenon information literacy. A survey showed that 77.65% of the students felt very happy, 19.91% of the students were happy, 2.44% of the students were less happy, and none of them said that they were unhappy with teaching and learning. It can be concluded that phenomenon-text based information literacy can attract the students' interest and develop students' positive attitude.
