Second Language Learning through Storytelling with a Social Robot – An Online Case Study |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Social robots are applied in several fields such as education and entertainment. Using the method of storytelling, these two fields can be combined to allow for informal learning. As social robots can benefit students' motivation and learning process and storytelling is a consolidated method for vocabulary acquisition, integrating learning content into a robotic storyteller's narration might facilitate implicit learning. Focusing on language learning, we conducted an online study to compare a robotic storyteller for vocabulary learning to traditional media, e.g. text. Results show that a robotic storyteller is as effective as traditional media concerning long-term memory. While it is also perceived equally useful, participants were more satisfied when reading text. No differences were indicated for transportation into the story. This preliminary online study indicates the suitability of robotic storytelling for implicit language learning, however, future studies should examine live and co-located scenarios to investigate their full potential. |
