한국어 교육용 AI 챗봇 개발을 위한 챗봇 빌더 활용 방안

Abstract

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies advance, chatbots equipped with AI functionalities for different purposes are used in various fields. In response to this trend, educational institutions also strive to use AI chatbots in classroom settings for foreign language education. This study recognizes the need for developing AI chatbots for Korean language education in the near future, and it proposes a plan to develop AI chatbots for Korean education using chatbot builders. To begin with, upon the analysis of previous studies on the use of educational chatbots for foreign languages, the authors examined the characteristics and significance of chatbots. Then four exemplary chatbot builders that allow teachers without previous knowledge of coding to build chatbots were selected. The authors demonstrated in use cases how teachers can use the builders to create Korean educational chatbots, and used these measures to present their utilization plans. By suggesting different ways for teachers to easily manipulate the educational chatbots for use in class, the authors endeavored to expedite future research on chatbots. It is expected that this study will ultimately lay a foundation for further investigations on AI chatbots optimized for Korean education. (Kyung Hee University·George Mason University Korea)
