ABSTRACT
This paper explores the use of a social robot for one-on-one tutoring, in a study in which 15 children participated in four second-language tutoring sessions. Specifically, changes across sessions are measured on two dimensions: engagement and performance. Results have revealed a significant positive change in performance as well as a significant pattern in engagement across the interactions.

The Interplay of Robot Language Level with Children's Language Learning during Storytelling
HRI'15 Extended Abstracts: Proceedings of the Tenth Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction Extended AbstractsChildren's oral language skills in preschool can predict their success in reading, writing, and academics in later schooling. Helping children improve their language skills early on could lead to more children succeeding later. As such, we examined the ...
Children teach a care-receiving robot to promote their learning: field experiments in a classroom for vocabulary learning
Inaugural Special Issue: Intersection of Systems Sciences and Human SciencesIn contrast to conventional teaching agents (including robots) that were designed to play the role of human teachers or caregivers, we propose the opposite scenario in which robots receive instruction or care from children. We hypothesize that by using ...
The Effect of a Robot's Gestures and Adaptive Tutoring on Children's Acquisition of Second Language Vocabularies
HRI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionThis paper presents a study in which children, four to six years old, were taught words in a second language by a robot tutor. The goal is to evaluate two ways for a robot to provide scaffolding for students: the use of iconic gestures, combined with ...
