摘要

自从机器人被发明以来,人们为了各种各样的目的和需要而开发了机器人,这与早期的个人电脑非常相似。然而,随着科技的进步,预计在不久的将来,“语言教学”中使用的尖端技术之一就是机器人技术。人形和/或动物形状的机器人将很快获得更多的关注,作为全球初中/高中第一和第二语言教学的奇特工具。在CEDRA,我们目前正在探索教育服务机器人的设计和应用,以在伊朗学校开创机器人辅助语言学习(RALL)。随着计算机和移动设备的普及,计算机辅助语言学习(CALL)和移动辅助语言学习(MALL)在近十多年来一直是第二语言教学理论的焦点。然而,利用机器人来支持语言教学当然可以提高今天的传统技术。机器人不仅具有CALL/MALL中已经使用的功能和界面,而且在配备各种传感器时,还能够自主运动,视觉/语音识别以及物理/环境交互。虽然计算机或移动设备也可以使用网络角色/视频进行非语言交流,但机器人在与用户在家庭/教室等真实环境中共存时,其非语言交流能力(如面部表情、手势和动作)值得注意。此外,机器人与电脑和移动设备的不同之处在于,它们有一个友好的外表,并且能够成功地保持社会关系。本文概述了该主题以及我们在英语作为外语(EFL)课程中RALL跨学科领域的当前活动/发现,并作为伊朗社交机器人更广泛领域的案例研究

Applying Robots as Teaching Assistant in EFL Classes at Iranian Middle-Schools
Since its invention, robots have been developed for various purposes and needs, quite similar to personal computers in their early days. However, with the advancement of technology, it is anticipated that in near future one of the cutting-edge technologies to be used in “language teaching and learning” is robotics. Humanoid and/or animal shaped robots will soon gain more attention as a fancy tool for 1st and 2nd language teaching in mid-schools/high schools around the globe. At CEDRA, we are currently exploring the design and application of educational service robots to initiate and pioneer Robotics Assisted Language Learning (RALL) in Iranian schools. With the proliferation of computers and mobile devices, Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) have been in the limelight for 2nd language instructional theories for about a decade or more. However, utilizing robots to support language teaching and learning can certainly enhance today's conventional techniques. Robots not only have the features and interfaces already being employed in CALL/MALL, but are also capable of autonomous movements, visual/voice recognition, and physical/ environmental interactions when equipped with various sensors. Although computers or mobile devices also can be capable of nonverbal communication employing cyber characters/videos, robots are notable in their capacity for nonverbal communication, such as facial expressions, gestures and actions, while coexisting with users in a real environment such as the home/classroom. Additionally, robots are different from computers and mobile devices in a way that they have a friendly appearance and are successfully capable of keeping social relations. This article covers an overview of the subject and our current activities/findings in the interdisciplinary field of RALL in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes and as a case study in the broader filed of Social Robotics in Iran
