Robots Are Now Teaching English!

Get ready. Robots are about to invade our classroom. From Korea to Japan to the United States, schools are putting English-speaking robots in front of their students. In Korea, robots are the new teaching assistants in a number of preschools and kindergartens.

The young students say that the robots are fun, but are these children really learning anything?

I don't think a computer will ever be able to do what a teacher does. A teacher has to be able to respond to students as individuals (个体) . _______▲_______, and a teacher has to change his or her teaching style to fit the needs of the student. I seriously doubt that a computer will ever be able to do this even though the big data (数据) is widely used in the world.

Sara says:

In my opinion, schools should spend money training human teachers rather than buying robots. Research shows that children learn more from real speakers than from recorded conversations.

Keiko says:

I don't think you can learn a language without real human interaction. After all, robots cannot think as humans do.

Hassan says:

Robots might be able to help people learn a language, but I don't think they should replace teachers because robots are just machines without human feelings.

Nancy says:

I think robots might be very helpful in the classroom. A child might be less afraid to make a mistake in front of a robot than in front of a real person.
