- Abstract: Chatbots have become popular in educational settings, revolutionizing how students interact with material and how teachers teach. We present Curriculum-Driven EduBot, a framework for developing a chatbot that combines the interactive features of chatbots with the systematic material of English textbooks to assist students in enhancing their conversational skills. We begin by extracting pertinent topics from textbooks and using large language models to generate dialogues related to these topics. We then fine-tune an open-source model using our generated conversational data to create our curriculum-driven chatbot. User studies demonstrate that EduBot outperforms ChatGPT in leading curriculum-based dialogues and adapting its dialogue to match the user's English proficiency level. By combining traditional textbook methodologies with conversational AI, our approach offers learners an interactive tool that aligns with their curriculum and provides user-tailored conversation practice. This facilitates meaningful student-bot dialogues and enriches the overall learning experience within the curriculum's pedagogical framework.

Learning to converse using only a few examples is a great challenge in conversational AI.
The current best conversational models are either good chit-chatters (e.g., BlenderBot) or goal-oriented systems (e.g., MinTL)
We propose prompt-based few-shot learning which does not require gradient-based fine-tuning but instead uses a few examples as the only source of learning.
