Outline

This paper proposes MultiAiTutor, a multilingual generative AI tutor for children's language learning in low-resource environments. Leveraging the LLM architecture, MultiAiTutor is designed with a child-friendly design and supports three low-resource languages: Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil, all with a Singaporean accent. It assists children's language learning through culturally appropriate image description tasks, and we report that it outperforms existing methods in both objective and subjective assessments.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
This paper presents the possibility of developing an effective multilingual generative AI tutor for children's language learning in low-resource language environments.
We demonstrate the feasibility of child-friendly and culturally appropriate educational voice generation using the LLM architecture.
The excellence of MultiAiTutor has been proven through objective and subjective evaluations.
Limitations:
Further consideration is needed for extensibility to other low-resource languages beyond the three presented in the paper.
Further research is needed to determine the long-term effectiveness of MultiAiTutor and its impact on child development.
Further research is needed to determine generalizability to children of different ages.
