In introducing robot as learning media, it is essential to uncover the suitability of robot to learning. This paper focuses on engagement in learning, and discusses why and how robot could contribute to enhancing engagement. Following the discussion, this paper also demonstrates how to design learning with robot. Considering contexts requiring communication such as collaborative reading in English and requiring attention/concentration such as lecture, in this work, we have designed robot partner for collaborative reading, and robot lecture. The results obtained from case studies with these robots suggest that learners’ engagement could be enhanced.
