Abstract :
We are developing a storytelling robot which learns by children´s teaching. The robot is used on learning of the second language. It can reduce the negative emotion due to the anxiety of speaking foreign language, which thus motivates learning and enhances the speaking and listening abilities. Presently, our system is still at the initial stage of research. Therefore, we only interviewed and experimented on some of the children now. These results will be used to improve our system.
