In recent years, Information and communications technology (ICT) has become a fundamental element of almost all aspects of formal and non-formal education. Educational Robotics (ER) as an ICT subfield has triggered many studies of ER educational utilization as the training of a new foreign language. This paper aims at highlighting another perspective of knowledge, utilizing the ER for learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). It presents educational scenarios explaining how the robot can be involved in the learning process.
