The Designing of CSL Teacher Empowering Training Model of Robot-Assisted Language Learning based on the TPACK Framework

This study provides the designing of the empowering training model of robot-assisted language learning (RALL) knowledge based on the framework of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) for Chinese as a Second Language (CSL) teacher. The model is a 10-hours program to enhance CSL teachers’ cognition of robot technology knowledge, and integrate Chinese pedagogical knowledge and Chinese phonetics knowledge. We analyzed what should be included in TK, PK, CK, TPK, TCK, PCK, TPACK when designing a robot assisted Chinese phonetics teaching. Also, computational thinking and Chinese teaching-oriented programming is been taught in order to let the CSL teachers have the ability to realize their design of RALL system.
