Robot-Assisted Language Learning (RALL) enhances adult second language acquisition by optimizing pedagogical strategies and learner engagement. This review analyzes RALL
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Artificial Intelligence in Education
- Second Language Acquisition
Background:
- Globalization necessitates effective language learning solutions.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming education through Robot-Assisted Language Learning (RALL).
- Adult learners possess unique self-regulated and self-directed learning characteristics.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review RALL's role in adult second language acquisition.
- To identify explicit and implicit instructional strategies within RALL for adults.
- To assess learner engagement and affective factors in RALL.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature review methodology.
- Analysis of pedagogical strategies and interaction modes in RALL.
- Investigation of research questions concerning RALL effectiveness for adults.
Main Results:
- RALL offers distinct pedagogical approaches for adult language learners.
- Comparison of explicit versus implicit instructional strategies in RALL.
- Identification of affective factors influencing RALL performance.
Conclusions:
- RALL strategies can be optimized for adult second language acquisition.
- Future research should focus on enhancing RALL for efficiency and engagement.
- Provides guidance for educators and robot developers in implementing RALL.
