Sažetak
The particularity of foreign language teaching is that it includes a variety of teaching topics, and in addition to that, language skills are being acquired with the use of various teaching tools. The latest teaching tool, which is being gradually introduced in foreign language teaching, is an educational robot (Nikolić, 2016). According to Randall (2019), the most widely used robots in the teaching process are those with an anthropomorphic appearance, the so-called humanoid robots.
As the development and implementation of robots as teaching tools in the teaching process is still in its early stages in the Republic of Croatia, this review paper aims to offer the participants of the educational process a description of three humanoid robots (Meccano Meccanoid 2.0 G16, Leju Aelos 1S, UBTECH Alpha 1 Pro) that can be used in teaching English as a foreign language in primary education. Along with the robots’ description, this paper offers the examples of teaching activities that correlate two different subjects (English as a foreign language and ICT) and achieve interdisciplinary educational and learning outcomes. Proposed teaching activities, which will be only one of the activities of the lesson, will include various types of class organization and usage of different educational materials. Alongside, they will be complemented by actual textbook examples and a proposal regarding the grade in which they can be used.
