Researchers and educators traditionally consider pedagogical agents as
animated talking “heads” embedded in the educational computer programs that
help to deliver the multimedia content or engage students in the learning
process. However, the authors of this
research define the pedagogical agent as a character of any kind (video-,
cartoon-character, or even a non-interactive book-character) that helps
students to learn. The educational function is the crucial feature of any
pedagogical agent, according to authors. Thus, in this article, they describe
the different types of pedagogical agents they have created and used in
teaching language, particularly Russian as a foreign language for the last 15
years of their work. Any teacher can quickly implement most of these
pedagogical agents’ types in his/her lessons since they do not require the
knowledge of programming and computer design. The pedagogical agents described
by authors in this research have proven their efficiency during the
experimental training in multinational and diverse level groups of
international students who studied the Russian language at RUDN University
(Moscow, Russia).
