Robots are machines that resemble different forms, usually those of humans or animals, that can perform preprogrammed or autonomous tasks (Robot, n.d.). With the emergence of STEM programs, there has been a rise in the use of robots in educational settings. STEM programs are those where students study science, technology, engineering and mathematics collectively (U.S. Department of Education, n.d.). Robots are considered a staple of STEM programs because the building and use of these tools seemingly incorporate all content areas of STEM seemingly (STEM Center USA, 2015). On the other hand, STEAM programs aim to fill the gap STEM programs may leave by bringing the liberal arts into the mix. In this approach, science and technology are interpreted through engineering and the arts, with a foundation in mathematics (STEAM Education, 2015). World language classes can positively impact STEAM programs by incorporating elements of robotics. As defined by Bers (2008), a robotics manipulative is a "medium for engaging young children in developing technological fluency and learning about math and science through integrated curricula in a fun and playful environment" (p. 69). Through her research, Bers (2008) has successfully developed robotics kits for children in early childhood programs. Using Bers (2008) definition of robots as a basis, the author expands this definition and applies it to world language teaching and learning. Accordingly, robots may be defined as interactive tools that promote skills such as vocabulary building, critical thinking, and collaboration, while supporting STEM subjects and providing a lens into the culture of the target language. Also in the article, there is a list of robots along with a brief description on how they can be used for world language instruction.
