- 简介: The advancement of information technology facilitates learning and teaching. In recent years, integrating learning robots/companions in school learning settings seems to become a new trend. For examples, AIBO, a robotic dog, was used in Math class to assist students learning the concept of operation in Taiwan (Hsu, Chou, Chen,Wang & Chan, 2007). Dooly, another example of a robot, was used in English class for helping learners concentrate attention on learning in Korea (Lee, Lee, Key & Ko, 2008). Research (Draper & Clayton, 1992) indicates that students paid more attention to the learning subject by using educational robots than a tape recorder and, furthermore, learning feedback could be interactive and immediate with the assistance of automatic speech recognition (Warschauer, 1996). This study was a preliminary study to understand students’ perceptions of tangible learning robots/companions in learning English conversation context. The results will inform a joint research project on how to well design and produce a series of tangible learning robots/companion tailored to the actual needs of the target learners in elementary school settings in Taiwan.
