Language learning with social robots

In this study, we are investigating how social robots can support language learning, how they are perceived in this context, and what role they can play. You will play a short language game with a social robot. With your consent, the interaction will be recorded on video so that it can be evaluated afterwards. Afterwards, we will ask you to fill out a short questionnaire.
Duration: Two sessions, each lasting approximately 5–10 minutes.
Time: Starting in November 2025
Location: SMARTcognitionLab, 2nd floor of the IDF (Plöck 55)
