Abstract :
Educational service robots that have been developed for language learning can be divided into the `tele-operated type´ and `autonomous type´. This paper analyses a monitor-based face design for the autonomous type in the English learning of children. This experiment, which targeted elementary school students, shows that iconic or cartoon - like faces are preferred to realistic robot faces.
