Robots Are Now Teaching English!
Get ready. Robots are about to invade our classroom. From Korea to Japan to the United States, schools are putting English- speaking robots in front of their students. In Korea, robots are the new teaching assistants in a number of preschools and kindergartens.
The young students say that the robots are fun, but are these children really learning anything
I don't think a computer will ever be able to do what a teacher does. A teacher has to be able to respond to students as individuals(个体) . , and a teacher has to change his or her teaching style to fit the needs of the student. I seriously doubt that a computer will ever be able to do this even though the big data(数据) is widely used in the world.
4 Comments on “ Robots Are Now Teaching English!”
Sara says:
In my opinion, schools should spend money training human teachers rather than buying robots. Research shows that children learn more from real speakers than from recorded conversations.
Keiko says:
I don’t think you can learn a language without real human interaction. After all, robots cannot think as humans do.
Hassan says:
Robots might be able to help people learn a language, but I don't think they should repl ace teachers because robots are just machines without human feelings.
Nancy says:
I think robots might be very helpful in the classroom. A child might be less afraid to make a mistake in front of a robot than in front of a real person.

This morning I jumped into the nose of Sam's best friend, Bill. Unluckily, the mucus(黏液) in his nose caught me. I thought it was over for me, when suddenly Bill sneezed while he was talking to Sam.
