Sommario
We report on an ongoing user study about the use of an interactive storytelling toy to engage child refugees in learning the language of their host countries, motivated by the scarcity of research regarding the design of technology for this understudied user group. We conducted three workshops with Ukrainian children aged 6-10 years old in the context of an after school activity, exploring how children reacted to different kinds of storytelling activities facilitated by an adult reader, with paper books and digital prototypes. We used the qualitative data gathered from our first two workshops to inform the design of a revised prototype, that was presented to the children in the final workshop. Our contribution consists in preliminary insights and design recommendations for technology specifically tailored to the needs of child refugees who are learning a new language.
