(2018): Social Robots for Early Language Learning: Current Evidence and Future Directions. In: Child Development Perspectives 12 (3), S. 146-151. DOI: 10.1111/cdep.12277
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1111/cdep.12277 Abstract: In this article, we review research on child–robot interaction (CRI) to discuss how social robots can be used to scaffold language learning in young children. First we provide reasons why robots can be useful for teaching first and second languages to children. Then we review studies on CRI that used robots to help children learn vocabulary and produce language. The studies vary in first and second languages and demographics of the learners (typically developing children and children with hearing and communication impairments). We conclude that, although social robots are useful for teaching language to children, evidence suggests that robots are not as effective as human teachers. However, this conclusion is not definitive because robots that tutor students in language have not been evaluated rigorously and technology is advancing rapidly. We suggest that CRI offers an opportunity for research and list possible directions for that work. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)
