Abstract

Early school years are an important period to lay out the foundation for learning a second language. In addition to mastering basic language skills, keeping the learning process fun; promoting a life-long learning habit must be emphasized. This study explored the integration of books, computers and robots to create a novel English learning environment. Books are the most popular and familiar learning media. However if we can design a special mechanism linking books with digital learning material and robots, students will be able to obtain supplementary learning content. This mechanism includes meaningful action performed by the robot to enhance learning outcome. A new learning system has been designed and developed. The learning system was tested while data collected from field observation and interviews were analyzed. The results suggest that this system was fertilized students' learning experience and enhance students' concentration, learning interest and motivation. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
