Robots can support teachers in individual second language lessons, where gestures increase children's engagement and promote learning. They can relieve the pressure on overloaded classrooms. Jan de Wit @jmsdewit defends this research for his PhD on Jan 28. tilburguniversity.edu/curren…

When a robot produces gestures during second language instruction for preschool-aged children, the children are more motivated to do the task and more engaged in the task overall. #gesture18 #l2tor @ag_scs
