Abstract

This paper discusses the results of a pilot study that explores the cognitive and motivational effects of an animated pedagogical agent as well as an alternative delivery system (a simple flashing arrow with audio) in a multimedia environment in which college level ESL students learn English relative clauses. The study also examines the cognitive efficiency of these two media systems used to deliver the same instructional method for teaching English grammar.
