隨著機器人學研究的發展和進步，機器人的能力不僅增進且外觀更具有親和力，而在價格也平民化後，使得現在應用機器人在教育上也變的可能。
這篇論文提出了將一個市售的平價機器人加入小學英語教學的應用模式，這個機器人經過我們的加值，使它能透過電腦來增進它原有的能力。
我們設計了5個活動模式讓老師和機器人之間可以合作授課，這5個模式為：1.說故事模式、2.帶領唸英文模式、3.啦啦隊模式、4.讓我們一起動一動模式、5.問與答模式。在這些活動模式中，機器人扮演一個老師教學夥伴的角色。同時我們也根據目前課程的進度與此英語課中所使用的教材，設計了加入機器人於教學活動之教學方案及教材內容編輯介面。
在三個五年級班級中進行了兩週的實驗後，研究結果發現，學生在課堂中的參與表現不僅更熱絡，且變的更加喜歡上這門英語課。

With the development and progress of robotics, robots have more capabilities and their looks become more attractive to human. Since the price of robots goes down, it is possible to use robots in education.
In this research, applications of using a cheap robot in elementary school English classroom were proposed. The robot''s capabilities were augmented with computer after our modification.
Five models of collaboration between teachers and robot are proposed, they are: 1.Storytelling model, 2.Pronunciation leading model, 3. Cheerleader model, 4.let’s act model, 5.Q&A model. In these models, the robot plays as a role of teacher''s partner. We design the course flow in advance based on the learning content and these five models, we also design the interface of robot for content input.
After two weeks'' experiment in the three 5th grade classes we found that students participate in the activities more enthusiastically and they become more like this English class.
