About

Wai Khuen Cheng is a researcher at the forefront of educational robotics, specializing in human-robot interaction for language learning. His work focuses on developing and implementing robot-assisted systems to enhance English oral proficiency, particularly for EFL learners. Cheng’s major contribution lies in pioneering robot-tutoring approaches for oral reading, as demonstrated in his most-cited paper, "Utilizing robot-tutoring approach in oral reading to improve Taiwanese EFL students’ English pronunciation" (6 citations). This study provides rare evidence of robots’ effectiveness in improving adult learners’ read-aloud skills, addressing a critical gap in the field. His other notable works, such as "Implementation of an Individual English Oral Training Robot System" (4 citations) and "METMRS: A Modular Multi-Robot System for English Class" (3 citations), showcase his innovative design of modular, multi-robot systems tailored for classroom settings. By integrating robotics with language pedagogy, Cheng has advanced personalized, interactive learning tools that boost pronunciation and engagement. His research not only demonstrates practical impact through citation counts but also lays groundwork for scalable, AI-driven educational solutions, making him a key figure in the intersection of robotics and applied linguistics.
