Abstract

In this paper, we examine the process of designing robot-performed iconic hand gestures in the context of a long-term study into second language tutoring with children of approximately 5 years old. We explore four factors that may relate to their efficacy in supporting second language tutoring: the age of participating children; differences between gestures for various semantic categories, e.g. measurement words, such as small, versus counting words, such as five; the quality (comprehensibility) of the robot’s gestures; and spontaneous reenactment or imitation of the gestures. Age was found to relate to children’s learning outcomes, with older children benefiting more from the robot’s iconic gestures than younger children, particularly for measurement words. We found no conclusive evidence that the quality of the gestures or spontaneous reenactment of said gestures related to learning outcomes. We further propose several improvements to the process of designing and implementing a robot’s iconic gesture repertoire.

儿童-机器人第二语言学习中标志性手势的设计与评价
在本文中,我们在一项针对大约5岁儿童的第二语言教学的长期研究的背景下,研究了设计机器人执行标志性手势的过程。我们探讨了可能与他们支持第二语言辅导的有效性相关的四个因素:参与儿童的年龄;不同语义类别的手势之间的差异,例如测量词,如小,与计数词,如五;机器人手势的质量(可理解性);以及自发的动作再现或模仿。研究发现,年龄与儿童的学习成果有关,年龄较大的儿童比年龄较小的儿童从机器人的标志性手势中受益更多,尤其是在测量词方面。我们没有发现确凿的证据表明,手势的质量或自发再现所述手势与学习结果有关。我们进一步提出了几个改进的过程,设计和实现一个机器人的标志性手势曲目。

期刊介绍: Interacting with Computers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, is an official publication of BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT and the Interaction Specialist Group . Interacting with Computers (IwC) was launched in 1987 by interaction to provide access to the results of research in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) - an increasingly crucial discipline within the Computer, Information, and Design Sciences. Now one of the most highly rated journals in the field, IwC has a strong and growing Impact Factor, and a high ranking and excellent indices (h-index, SNIP, SJR).
