Abstract

This paper explores the use of a social robot for one-on-one
tutoring, in a study in which 15 children participated in four
second-language tutoring sessions. Specifically, changes across
sessions are measured on two dimensions: engagement and
performance. Results have revealed a significant positive change
in performance as well as a significant pattern in engagement
across the interactions.
