Description
Summary:Emotions have a crucial role in our social life in general and in our professional life and education in particular. Besides, they proved essential in information processing systems, more specifically in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). In this article, we present new strategies integrated into an ITS' tutor module and intended to teach children the vocabulary of a foreign language, namely English. These strategies can generate emotions for students making words memorization easier. We describe the experimentation carried out to validate these emotional strategies as well as the results obtained.
