Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore children and robot interaction in distant language learning environments using three different video-conferencing technologies-two traditional screen-based videoconference technologies and a telepresence robot. One American and six Korean elementary school students participated in our case study. We relied on narratives of one-on-one interviews and observation of nonverbal cues in robot assisted language learning. Our findings suggest that participants responded more positively to interactions via a telepresence robot than to two screen-based video-conferencings, with many citing a stronger sense of immediacy during robot-mediated communications.

이 논문은 원격언어교육으로서 2가지 형태의 비디오 영상수업과 로봇영상 수업에 따른 아이와 로봇상호작용을 연구한다. 원격지의 미국 아이와 6명의 한국 아이들로 실험수업을 진행했으며, 일대일 인터뷰를 통한 나래이션 및 관찰분석을 하였다. 실험결과 로봇영상 수업이 2가지 형태의 비디오 영상수업보다 활발한 상호작용을 보였다.
