Design of a Chatbot Learning System: Case Study of a Reading Chatbot

Technology is more than a tool; the use of technology is also a skill that needs to be developed. Teachers are expected to have the ability to integrate technology into their teaching methods, but whether they have the required technological expertise is often neglected. Therefore, technologies that can be easily used by teachers must be developed. In this study, an algorithm was developed that integrates Google Sheets with Line to offer teachers who are unfamiliar with programming a quick method for constructing a chatbot based on their teaching plan, question design, and the material prepared for a reading class. To meet the needs for reading classes, reading theories and effective reading instruction are incorporated into the learning and teaching mechanism of the chatbot system. To create a guidance structure that is suitable for students of various levels of ability, Nelson's multipath digital reading model was employed because it can maintain a reading context while simultaneously responding to the diverse reading experiences of different readers.
