In the Republic of Korea，many schools hire（雇） English teachers from abroad，but as you know，there are not so many native English teachers there.A team of engineers have created a robot that they hope will take the place of foreign teachers.
   Robots will save schools money.The cost of building a robot and hiring a Filipino teacher to work with it is around ＄20，000 a year.That is about half the cost of supporting a foreign teacher in the Republic of Korea.What's more，robot teachers can make students have more fun learning English.
   The robot teacher is called Engkey.She is about one meter tall and is white，egg shaped.She takes a screen as her face.She can move around the classroom while speaking to students，reading books to them and dancing to music by moving her head and arms.So this robot is more than a video screen on wheels.But Engkey's voice is not her own.It is controlled by an English teacher in the Philippines（菲律賓）.There is a camera in each of the robot teachers.With the help of the camera，English teachers in the Philippines can see and hear the students.
   Engkey's creators say that they don't know how successful the robot is as a teacher now.But they hope that some day all schools in the Republic of Korea will have a robot in the classroom.
