Robots Are Now Teaching English!
Get ready. Robots are going to come into our classroom. From South Korea to Japan to the United States, schools are putting English speaking robots in front of their students. The young students say that the robots are fun. But are these children really learning anything? Different students have different ideas.
Nancy
I guess we students will welcome robots to learn with us. A child may be less afraid to make a mistake in front of a robot than in front of a teacher.
Sarah
I think schools should spend money training teachers instead of buying robots. Studies show that children learn more from real speakers than from recorded conversations.
Hassan
Robots may be able to help people learn a language, but I don't think they should take the position of teachers because robots are just machines without feelings.
Lin Hao
I don't think a robot will be able to do what a teacher does. Each student is different, and a teacher can try his or her best to help every student. After all, robots can't think as teachers do.
