  • exploring the possibility of using humanoid robots as Instructional tools for teaching a second Language in primary school
    Educational Technology & Society, 2010
    Co-Authors: Chih-wei Chang, Jihhsien Lee, Poyao Chao, Chinyeh Wang, Gwo-dong Chen
    Abstract:

    As robot technologies develop, many researchers have tried to use robots to support education. Studies have shown that robots can help students develop problem-solving abilities and learn computer programming, mathematics, and science. However, few studies discuss the use of robots to facilitate the teaching of second Languages. We discuss whether Language teaching needs robot support, whether robots present an appropriate medium for Language Instruction, and what challenges must be overcome. In order to explore the possibility of using robots as an Instructional tool for teaching a second Language, this paper reviews prior studies concerning educational robots and analyzes the characteristics of robots and Instructional media. Furthermore, we report on the design and testing of five Instruction scenarios for teaching second Language. Based on our empirical experience, we provide suggestions for future research directions in the realm of robots for Language education. Keyword

  • Using humanoid robots as Instructional media in elementary Language education
    Proceedings - 2nd IEEE International Conference on Digital Game and Intelligent Toy Enhanced Learning DIGITEL 2008, 2008
    Co-Authors: Gwo-dong Chen, H. Bässler, Chih-wei Chang
    Abstract:

    As robot technologies have developed rapidly, many researchers have tried to use robots to support education. Studies have shown that robots can help students develop problem-solving abilities and learn computer programs, mathematics, and science. However, few studies discuss the use of robots to facilitate Language teaching and learning. It is worth discussing whether Language education needs robot support, whether robots present an appropriate medium for Language Instruction, and what challenges must be overcome. This paper reviews past studies of educational robots, and we designed tested five Language Instruction scenarios using a teacher and a robot. Based on our empirical experience, we provide suggestions for future research into, and design of, robots for Language education.
